Hiya! Brand Spankin New Here!
Hey All,
I am so glad I found this site! I have just developed a new interest in baking bread and wanting to learn more. I have a large family and my goal is to eventually bake all our breads. I stumbled across this place searching for good (easy, simple) bread recipes. I've tried several in the recent months and sometimes I get a good loaf and other times they are just horrible! But we eat them anyway, haha. The crazy thing is that I have no idea what I've done (or not done) that has made the difference. I'm hoping I'll get some help here and learn a lot.
I love all the photos and instruction that go along with the recipes. I am very visual and these are great learning aids for me. And I love seeing the photos of the members' baking triumphs! It's awesome. I hope I'll have some photos to share soon. :)
Thanks! Happy Baking!

You will learn a bunch here, that's for sure. May I suggest going to the top of the page and click on lessons. Give Lesson 1 a shot. Its funny how just 4 simple ingredients can give you a great tasting loaf of bread. Those same ingredients can then get munipulated into giving you a variety of different breads.
Good luck,
TT
Hey there Ags!
I'm new myself (although I've gaped at the awesome pics here for a while as well as reading some of the recipes). Everyone's been really helpful and welcoming.
Have fun and look forward to seeing your results!
Hi Ags, This is a great place to learn techiniques and how to bake, second only to working alongside a master baker, which few of us can do. (I think I just accidentally deleted my comments on your foccaccia post, so I'll repeat here) - Congratulations!! That first taste of homemade bread is wonderful, isn't it? I'll second TT's suggestion for Lesson 1.
