Hello wonderful fresh-loafers!
I have been lurking here for over 2 years, time enough to take the plunge and say hi at last. We live on a sailing catamaran currently cruising the Caribbean. Thanks to a breadmaker machine being aboard the boat, I started baking bread again. But looking for some new recipe ideas, I found you - so goodbye machine (it had started to rust thanks to sea air, anyway), and hello hand baking. Your knowledge and passion is seriously contagious stuff. Thanks to you guys, I'm having a blast trying to perfect breadmaking skills and learning the science of the fabulous yeasties, batard by boule by bun! Thank you so much. You're an inspiration.
