breadbasketcase: February 2012
http://breadbasketcase.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 20, 2012. I wasn't going to blog about this bread because it's embarrassingly easy to make, as long as you have the za'atar. Or zatar- or, for that matter, zaatar, zatr, zattr, zahatar, zaktar or satar). The source of all knowledge. I simply used the master recipe. In Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. Suggests using it in a kabob marinade or in fattoush- both sound great for summer cooking. Alas, summer is not yet here, but I hope the zatar will keep for a few more months. Jim," I sai...

breadbasketcase: Tartine Semolina Bread
http://breadbasketcase.blogspot.com/2012/12/tartine-semolina-bread.html
Sunday, December 23, 2012. I made this just a week after my first Tartine bread, and am only just now finding a few minutes to write about it. This bread was not as astounding as the first Tartine effort (although still quite good), and, looking at the pictures, I think I can spot several reasons why. Third, I opted to use a mixture of sesame and poppy seeds only on top of the bread, while the recipe calls for those seeds, as well as fennel seeds, in the bread as well as atop the loaves. I like fenne...

breadbasketcase: Tartine Bread: Bread at Last!

Sunday, November 11, 2012. Tartine Bread: Bread at Last! Next, feed with water, whole wheat flour, and bread flour. This is the same thing as before, except this time we measure: 200 grams of water and 200 grams of flour. The test for whether the leaven is active? See if it floats in water. (Isn't this the test they used for deciding whether you were a witch? If you floated, you were a witch. If you sank, you weren't. Unfortunately, you were dead. But righteously so). My leaven floated. Hooray! Next, div...

breadbasketcase: October 2012

Tuesday, October 30, 2012. Tartine Bread: Days 3 and 4. After another day, the mixture is less brown and more bubbly. Both of these traits are satisfying, since the brownness really did not look appetizing. The bubbliness assured me that things were working as they should be. This picture was taken after I stirred up the goop. It felt satisfyingly thick and full of activity. Monday, October 29, 2012. Tartine Bread: Day 2. Sunday, October 28, 2012. Tartine Bread: Day 1.

breadbasketcase: July 2012
http://breadbasketcase.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 08, 2012. It's been about three months since I've posted on this blog, and several of you were nice enough to check in with me to ask if I was feeling all right. In my defense, I went on a 3-week trip to Russia, Estonia, and Finland in May and June. Then I went on a road trip to South Dakota (Mount Rushmore! For a week. But I've been back for a while, and I figured I'd better post something before my excuses started to molder. I'm going to research that one day, but not today. Maybe not....

breadbasketcase: Pita Bread - The Bread Bible
http://breadbasketcase.blogspot.com/2015/03/pita-bread-bread-bible.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Pita Bread - The Bread Bible. When I made pita bread in my first go-round of The Bread Bible, I wasn't even using photos. I envisioned writing a paragraph or two about each bread, and it wasn't until the fourth or fifth week that I started using photography. That is, I started Jim's career as a food photographer. This time he took 59 photos, not counting the ones he discarded, for me to choose from. One of my more evenly rounded attempts, and my oven test case. This is how it loo...
