Hiee :-)

Virgin at baking bread and full of apprehensions :( Guess I need to dive in and not worry much. But before that, want to arm myself completely. TFL is an intelligent resource. If everything in here is compiled well - it would be the best selling bible on bread baking - honestly.

People here have their favs - Hamelman, Leader, Lahey, Peter Reinhart, Clayton and several others. Here, I see no mention of "The Five Families of Bread by Michael Kalanty". He seems to have simplified things for a novice by classifying the dough into groups. Anyone using this book? How informative is it? Any sort of input on the same will help me decide if I should buy the book.

This is a nice place to be. Will post my experiences as soon as I plunge in :P

Thankyou TFL,
Nepakshi..
