Who does not love the scent of fresh made bread filling the air? To cut into the loaf and see the steam rise and the REAL butter melt within seconds of meeting. I have met so many people who are intimidated by the process. From the thought of it being "too much work" to the fear of not knowing how to do it right.
Yes, anyone that can read, can pick up a cook book & make something. But when you are inexperienced, terms used in the recipe may cause some to stray from the homemade goodness one desires.
In this video, I show you how simple it is to begin bread making with Artisan breads. We start with a Biga starter that simply consists of water, yeast & flour. This acts as a flavor enhancer for your bread dough. A few minutes of hands on time. N special equipment or training required.
So c'mon. Jump right in & join the masses of those who have tread this ground before you. I promise. You will not regret the leap into home made goodness.

Good Post Tammi -- I have yet to be successful making anything that involves yeast :( But I remain hopeful.
glad you posted this! with the time change coming, and cooler nights, it's perfect for making bread!
Looking forward to the rest of the story!
Allison, Then I would say TRY this method I am sharing. I too was a yeast flunky until I got my hands on this cook book. They broke it down into such simple terms. Describing what texture & look you want in simple ways. They even give reasons why behind many of the steps. This is why I covet that book & never share it. It stays in that cookbook stand due to being in use so much.
I have broken the videos into 3 parts so its not so much information all at once and I can share with beginners the look, texture & how to's in much more understanding form & debunk the stygmatysm that artisan bread is hard. I do hope you will grab the laptop & bring it along into the kitchen for following the videos.
Hopeful~ It truly is! Connie from Spinning grandma(ash lane farm) is not able to comment on my blog due to dial up slowing the loading but just wrote after I posted this to say how funny it was I posted this since she too was in the middle of baking up a few batches of bread. There is no other joy such as that of a fresh from the oven slice of bread on a fall day.
Apple Pie gal~ I am posting part 2 today & working on the final segment of the artisan bread series today. I had to redo the , But it's not like I am making bread just for the video. I make it everyday now.LOL.

Thank you all for visiting & your kind words. I do hope more of you will take that leap into trying out my artisan bread methods. They do slightly sway away from a few things the book shares but I have been making this bread now for...umm like 3 years. My kids BEG for it and even promise to clean their room if I would make more when we run out. Yeah. It's that good.LOL.
