After last week's debacle with baguettes, I went back to boules and an oblong loaf.  The boules were Ken Forkish's white bread with Poolish and the long loaf was Peter Reinhart's transitional multi-grain hearth bread which I made on a pizza stone with hot water into a cast iron pan for steam.  Much better results.  I have two small boules of sourdough rising on the counter to bake yet.

Hello,

Is anyone familiar with Calvel's "Hearth Breads: A French Master's Approach to Using North American Ingredients"? I found where I can buy but it is quite expensive.  I thought I would try to get someone's thoughts, if they know it, before I consider buying it.  After all, how many books does a home baker need?

 I have used "Le Gout du Pain" extensively and it is the best bread book I have.

Thanks,  Woods
