Long-Time Lurker Intro and Baking Books Question
Hi, everyone, from the Northern California foothills!
I have been baking for a few years. I started with Tassajara and stuck to just those formulas for a long time.
I have since acquired Hammelman, BBA, RLB Bread Bible, PR Whole grains, Secrets of a Jewish Baker, The Rye Baker, and FWSY.
Is there any sense in buying Tartine #1? Are there any other recommendations you can offer?
I read myself to sleep every night browsing the Fresh Loaf, and am thankful for this site and all I have learned here.
I never could have predicted that bread baking would become an obsession. I do like that, at least so far, it is the cheapest hobby I have ever gotten into, and the others seem to be falling away. . .
