Last January, I made a trip out to The World’s Biggest Bookstore and browsed around not only through the Graphic Novels, Fantasy Novels and Movies; but also decided to browse through the cooking section. I like to cook. I came across a nice book while I was there called Making Bread at Home, which I decided almost instantly to pick up. I’ve made several of the recipes from this book (which I would very heavily recommend) and have gotten comfortable enough with baking bread that I’ve even improved a few times (I did this for Thanksgiving… and unfortunately it didn’t turn out as great as I’d hoped it would). One of my favorite recipes from this book is definitely the Pain Polka. It’s a sour dough recipe that I find works especially well if you use Baguette dough as the starter. Anyways, I just pulled a loaf of Challah out of the oven and figured the rest of the world needed to know.
