Hello everybody:),

 My name is Andra, I live in Romania and I am 33 years old. I discovered the wonderful universe of bread 10 months ago, thanks to Codruta (http://www.thefreshloaf.com/blog/codruta [1]). 

The bread and I are in a very special relationship ever since:). And I can say, it was not love at first sight;), as you can see below.

I don't know why, but every failure I had made me more determined to get to know "The Bread" better:). With Codruta's help, after a lot of practicing, I succed in making bread my friend:).

1. Sourdough Fennel Bread

2.  Sourdough Olive Bread

3.  Sourdough Seeds Bread

4. Stureby de Luxe

5. San Joaquin Sourdough

5. Vermont Sourdough

6. Pain au levain

I still have a lot to learn, but I consider myself lucky to get to know this wonderfull world of Bread:).  I love baking and talking about bread and pastry:). I bake everytime I can, usually once a week, during weekends. My familly and friends are, most of the time, delighted to be in the "testing squad":). 

Two months ago I discoverd txfarmer blog (http://www.thefreshloaf.com/blog/txfarmer [2]), and her wonderfull croissants:). I've been practicing ever since, I still have a lot to learn , but I think I am heading in the right direction:).

8. Sourdough croissants with poppy seeds and small pieces of raisin

One of this year's resolution is to write my own blog articles on TFL and I thought that January 1'st would be a good time to start doing it:).

May we all have a wonderful baking year and may the bread & pastry God be with us!

Hoping to get to you soon,

Andra:).
