One of my goals for this year is to bake a really excellent loaf of "artisan" bread.
I think that I am on my way to achieving that goal.
I got the book "The Bread Baker's Apprentice" by Peter Reinhart a few years ago... I lent it out to my brother because he's into baking bread. I got it back from him over the holidays and started reading. It's pretty cool. It breaks down the science of making bread. It talks about flour, yeast, gluten, salt, and all the processes involved in making great bread.
So far I've only tried one recipe from the book "Ciabatta" and it's pretty darn good. It's one of those loaves that's got a nice chewy crust with a soft middle. My little air holes aren't as large as I'd like them to be, but hopefully that will come with practice.
