Success is so tasty...learning to make bread has been a blast!

I started making bread three months ago. I began to notice that the bread I was buying at a local store was causing tummy troubles but I CANT LIVE with out bread. I purchased the Kind Arthur Bread book and began. A month into my journey I was frustrated because kneading my dough in my mixer was making a very dense bread. So I began to check this site and learned the Bertinet method and began using my hands. 

That was the missing ingredient. My breads are amazing now, crusty, fluffy, the crumb scrumptious I have done all white, wheat, sweet potato, baguette, fougasse, croissants, boules and more! Here are a few pic's of a newbie finding success in the middle of the boogie down Bronx!

I hope its not too much, but to me its insanely exciting!
