When I put away the bread machine and decided to try my hand at home artisan
breads, recipes were great but but but for instance "Punch down the dough
and chafe for 5 minutes...". What the heck did chafe the dough mean! I know
now.
The book "The Art of Bread" by Eric Treuille & Ursula Ferrigno not only has
some great artisan bread recipes but more importantly, especially for the
novice bread baker, covers steps and techniques in great detail with lots of
photograhs. I highly recommend it for someone who wants to "learn how" to
make various artisan breads.

first not know. And in knowing know I know not. Each Personal enlightenment
found exploring the many divergent foot steps of Those who have gone before.

	Me too!
	
	Also, if you are interested in making bread & aren't sure where to
start, pick up a copy of Jame's bears's "Beard on Bread". Even if you know
how to make bread, he has a great variety of recipes.
