Hello,  I'm a new baker and have been reading this site for a few months. I started baking basic white bread last fall and shortly after discovered the no-knead recipe, which was quite an epiphany.  Since then I've been reading, experimenting, and trying to develop my skills and baking at least once a week. I want to thank everyone for the information I've gotten from this site over the past few months.  I look forward to being able to post my questions.

Hello.  My name is Lorie and I'm new here. 

I've been baking bread for a couple years now and enjoy it.  However, with my toddler running around after his two older siblings I thought I'd try out bread machines.  I find completely different results and my kids beg me to go back to my old ways.  In my search to save my bread (from the machine) I found this site.  

I hope to learn much and hopefully be a blessing as well. 

Hello from England

I've just found 'The Fresh Loaf'. Most of you seem to be from way over on the left hand side of the map from me (at least the way we print them here), but I love the site and it's good to know that you are all out there baking

Hello from Hawaii. I just recently took up baking (not counting brownie mix in a box). So far I'm 3 loaves of bread and one pan of cinimon rolls in. I wish I had taken pictures.

I came across this website after my first attempt. I was looking for better info site. My first set of bread turned out well enough, but I was just following ingredients and some poorly written instructions.
