    I am SO impressed but at the same time SO embarrassed! I bought that very book 2 years ago and other than cracking it open once when it arrived I have never delved in to it. My EXCUSE? My wife doesn't eat bread other than a bun on an occasional burger and even less frequently a slice under poached eggs. With my love of fresh bread and piled on butter I'd soon exchange my 170 pound self I see in the mirror and be staring at a 400+ pound slob crying WHAT HAPPENED? But...carry on, SIR!!! Color me jealous!

    That's how all good sourdough bread starters are made, used to be a dirty little secret.  Now it's out.

    I  have been baking with the artisan bread in five method for several years.  I have baked on the egg, and I love it. With that said, my wife made me quit because we were getting fat. Now it's just pizza dough and special occasions. 

    Your loaves look awesome, make me want to mix up a batch right now. Nice work!

    @Cookinbob whats your process on making the dough into pizza dough? I haven't gone further than the basic master recipe so far.

    Thanks everyone. My wife found some numbing spray they gave her after child birth that took the edge off the pain. Now I just have to keep from using my right hand on accident.

    Sorry about your hand. That sucks anytime, but the day before a holiday really sucks. Lavender and peppermint essential oils mixed in a carrier oil will help it heal pretty quickly and take a lot of the pain away. Don't ask me how I know. If you look kitchen klutz up in the dictionary, you'll see my picture. Love that book too. Unfortunately, hubby was diagnosed with Type II diabetes, so we had to scale back on bread making. He's controlled it very well, so, hopefully, we can resume baking. That is some beautiful bread. Drooling here. Sourdough is our all time favorite.

    Sorry about your hand, dude. Don't pop any blisters that form. 

    The bread looks fantastic. Inspired me to bake my own bread for this weekend instead if buying rolls.  I've been eyeing that book for a long time,  and I think it's high time I pulled the trigger.

    @Cookinbob whats your process on making the dough into pizza dough? I haven't gone further than the basic master recipe so far.  
    There is a pizza dough recipe in the first book. You replace 1/4 cup of water with olive oil. Every thing else is pretty much the same. I find the dough is very easy to work with. I usually get 3 nice pizzas from a batch.

    Brother seeing this thread reminded me about the starter you offered me. I got real busy Wednesday night with the holiday cooking and just simply forgot. I would of loved to had it brother. My apologies and loss.

    Nice. I need to look through the book. I must have missed the pizza dough recipe.  I bookmarked a ton of stuff my first time through and didn't have it.

    Just let me know anytime. I always have a few loaves in the fridge that just need to be formed and baked off.  I actually have been playing with brioche more lately. I made some incredible rolls for Thanksgiving.

    I would love to experiment throwing some loaves in your Shirley or in the Vault.
