"Bread. It does a body good."
Or so my mind has been telling me so lately.
And so has Peter Reinhart.
So I've been baking artisan breads and seeded crackers.
I've been too lazy to turn on the oven.
I've transitioned to steaming artisan breads and cinnamon buns.
Oh Bread, how good you taste.
Oh Peter Reinhart, how I heart you for teaching me your amazing breading techniques.
Oh Peter Reinhart, how I despise you for making me wait to enjoy good bread
(1. soaker + waiting 2. biga + waiting 3. soaker + biga + final dough 4. knead + wait+ rise 5. shape + wait+ rise 6. bake+ wait 7. eat).
Oh Bread, how bad you are for my expanding waistline.
Oh Bread.
Oh Peter.
Oh waistline.
...the things I do for you guys...
