This winter I started baking from scratch, and am loving it. Haven't bought any baked goods, except crackers, in over a month. Eventually hoping to make all our crackers, too. Currently experimenting with sourdough, so I was really happy to see this issue. I've had great success with my starter, and with the Rustic Sourdough recipe, but getting mostly bricks when I try the Extra Tangy Sourdough. I haven't given up yet, though. I read through everything sourdough on the blog & BC today, and watched the videos online to see if my starter, dough or shaping techniques could be at fault, and picked up some great pointers. However, while watcihng Robyn knead & shape bread, I kept getting distracted by the gorgeous counters in the KA kitchen. I'm getting ready to do a kitchen renovation, so now I'm dreaming about making bread in my new kitchen, with the counters just like yours. I have to know - what are those counters made of? I know the counters aren't what makes the bread turn out so wonderful, but, if I had those counters, I'd be filled with joy every time I used them to bake, and everything tastes better when you enjoy making it. Besides, my KAF cookbooks would look so pretty lined up on that counter. hahaha Thanks!
