I'm sooo in love! I am a very serious baker. I use over 29 grains, nuts, seeds for baking. I buy organic, non gmo, whole grain & have a beautiful mill for grinding grains & nuts. I add fruits, which I grow & dehydrate, eggs from chcken geese, ducks & turkeys that I raise, free range &'organic. I make my butter, I have a large brick oven. I'm in love w/ bread baking. This book is a beautiful addition. I'm thrilled. Despite the few omissions/ editing errors, I can easily "figure out the recipes." I love weighing ingredients for accuracy as humityn& weather changes etc, greatly effect the performance of flour. Weight is the best way to insure accuracy & quality. I love seeing grains that I have been using for years featured, as quinoa, spelt, millet. I love Einkorn as it has a lovely gluten which is tolerated by many gluten intolerant people. Gluten free makes me scream! The problem is the modification of whets commercially resulting in gluten intolerance, thus the reason I use ancient grains like einkorn.This bread is such a delight. Sourdough is the healthiest bread & I keep about 6 starters going all the time, soft wheat, einkorn, spelt, rye & white. All provide delightful tastes. It is very difficult to,find fresh yeast, if u need it, u may want to ask ur grocer to get it for u. Usually that works.I love the chapter on shaping. I can always improve my technique & love different forms & equipment for shaping & designing patterns on my bread. For instance, I have developed a fun loaf. I make 3/4 loaves of bread, I.e., rye sourdough, white sourdough, a beautiful fruit/nut bread to be served vow/ cheeses, etc. as long as the bake times are the same, I have a very long loaf pan. I make smaller loaves of each type, shape them as loaves, puthem in the long pan allowing room for final proofing. I then put the pan in the brick oven & bake off the breads. For the family who loves variety but doesn't want to buzz 4 or more regular loves, they have one "pull apart" loaf w/ 4 flavors. Fun.Also as you bake more, a recipe can become a guide on an amazing, creative journey. You begin to develop a feel for the dough & know instinctively when it is "right." I love the different proofing methods, & the cold proofing is my favorite. I love the texture from a slow rise & the flavor development. It's all in here. Very comprehensive & a great price on Amazon! So happy!Update: Great news! Amazon now offers fresh yeast! It is not delivered by Amazon, but does have free shipping. So even better for all who want to make these fabulous recipes! I've ordered mine!
