Hello Jennifer from Texas.

Hello Jennifer from Texas. I'm living in Houston. I joined this forum recently also (about 3 months). The best book to bring you up to speed, which is highly recommended on this forum, is the "Bread Baker's Apprentice" written by Peter Reinhart. I've learned tons from this book, and the recipes are great......

Hi Jennifer, I'm in

Hi Jennifer,

I'm in Burleson, and also new to this bread baking. I'm finding it takes more time than I thought--the reading/studying, not the actual baking. I'm having fun.

I'm not from Texas, but great to have you here. I agree with rainwater about Peter Reinhart's book. I bought it 3 weeks ago and love going through it. I used his technique for marble rye bread (but didn't follow the recipe), just his technique and my bread had a nice brown swirl to it.

I used cocoa powder instead of molasses and it was a good brown color. I still have yet to get myself a digital camera and start posting my "creations."

cheers.
