Tartine Bread
I think I have read almost all of the postings about this remarkable bread. So of course I decided I must need yet another bread book.
Earlier this week I baked my first loaves of Tartine bread. They were good but not as good as the second baking when I found enough patience to pay more attention to the dough than to the clock. Baked one last night and one this morning. The first half of last night's loaf has disappeared into pan toast and grilled cheese sandwiches already.
I am amazed at how good it tastes. There is an almost English Muffin feel to the holey crumb. My testers say I don't need to ever make any other kind of bread. While I know that won't go that route, I am glad they enjoy this one. It was fun to learn something new too.
