Favorite bread formulas

I thought it would be fun if the "Fresh Loafers" would like to share their favorite bread formulas that they have made. These are mine:

Walnut bread from Nancy Silverton's Breads from La Brea Bakery

Multigrain Seed bread from Baking By Hand- I posted my interpretation here: http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/40631/bannetons-brod-and-taylor

75% whole wheat Levain from Flour Water Salt Yeast. See dmsnyder's post here: http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/40675/75-whole-wheat-levain-bread-fwsy

Thank you for your reply. What is the source For the tomato bread?

Also I resubmitted my post, because the formatting was not right when I first posted.

his Pugliese, SFSD and SJSD, ploetzblog's Pane Maggione, hanseata's Wild Rice SD bread, Maria Speck's Aroma Bread, brotdoc's Westphalian Rye and about 50 more :-)

The one thing they all have in common is that they can all be found here on TFL in one version or another.

I made it recently and I don't know what I did but the flavor is really good! It's complex and has a flavor almost like a sharp cheddar cheese. I love breads with lots of seeds.
