Artisan Bread! Can't you just smell it now? Freshly baked, just out of the oven and smelling great! This web site will show you how to make real artisan bread in your own kitchen. There are recipes and photos of bread making and baking; discussions of techniques, tools and other miscellaneous bread topics; pictures and commentary of a 3-day project to enter a baking contest; and links to a few other sites and sources. All of this is geared to helping you bake artisan breads like those on the left and on the right.

- Recipes and descriptions The listing of the bread recipes on the site with short descriptions of each.
- Troubleshooting your bread Why things may not have gone exactly right and what to do about it.
- Artisan bread topics A short introduction covering my purpose in putting up this site and a group of topics that, taken together,
seem to define artisanal or artisan bread.
- This 'N' ThatThe Journal of my breadmaking activities. Photos and commentaries of some of the breads I've made recently.
These are concise descriptions of artisan bread making, but they are complete. I will post some pictures of other things here, as the
opportunities arise.
- Bread Discussions and Topics Discussions and photos of topics and things that are applicable to many different artisan breads. Look here for tools, folding, flours, methods of shaping, etc.
- Discussions of some things I really like, some book reviews and
a few things that I'm not so fond of.
- Bread Baking Contest photos A start-to-finish running commentary complete with photos of a 3-day effort to bake breads
for a baking contest as part of the Chatham, NJ, Bicentennial in September, 2006.
In case you're wondering what that train logo is doing up in the left corner, it's the logo of the Smile Train, a group that performs cleft palate surgery all over the world. Here's where to find out more about the Smile Train.
I hope you check out all the things on the site and that they help you make better bread.
