A Thank-You
Hi everyone.
I just wanted to say how thankful I am for this community. Since nobody in my family bakes yeasted bread, and most of my friends who used to are too busy chasing kids around these days, I have felt very alone with questions and failures, especially since we don't have the means to mingle with foodies. Now I feel like I'm part of a baking family, and know I have somewhere to go with any problems and find the answers I need. Thank you all so much for being there.

And well put, too. Here's a "housewarming" gift for you. See that white box in the upper left-hand corner, the one with the word "Search" below it? That is your new best friend. Type in a word or phrase, click on that Search button, and stand back. You'll get answers to the question you have and a whole new set of things to explore, as well.
Paul
Thanks Paul and welcome Melanie
As I too have just discovered this site, I am grateful for that snippet of advice and my new best friend the search box.
I have been 'taken in' by the world of breakmaking and have just produced my first loaf using the generic recipe on this site - a humble bit exciting beginning. I am a bit overwhelmed at present at the huge amount of breads and the obvious skill of many here.
It's winter here in New Zealand so I'm trying rise a loaf of bread in the heat of the oven - oh I long for summer :)
Thanks again

place where people are passionate about baking bread and are most generous in sharing their knowledge, experiences and techniques with anyone who asks - or doesn't ask for that matter :-) Paul is one of a multitude who give good advice on TFL. I use search all the time - almost daily.
Welcome to you! You live in a beautiful state and there are many fine CO professional and home bakers on TFL. No worries - most foodies don't have the means to mingle with foodies either :-)
