Oh yum! What a great site you have here! I'm a baker wannabe, just starting to gather all my tools and ingredients. But one thing I know, my dough has NEVER looked that good!
And a question about the starter.. you said cool water? What kind of yeast is that and why doesn't the water have to be warm? I need to know these things! :)
Yeast doesn't always need warm water to work. If it's going to be sitting long enough, as in a starter, the water can be cool - esp. if you're using instant yeast. Yeast is very flexible, really - thank goodness! - PJH
