It's a terrific bread, and my family loves it. I also think the NYT 'No-Knead" bread is excellent. I have made that often and it's a great loaf.

    I am not familiar with Tartine bread. Would you share some photos?
    Maybe even consider sharing the recipe here?
    *fingers crossed*

    Baked some kid-friendly bread this weekend (recipe). The results were the best yet.
    The only thing I did differently was that (by mistake) I doubled up on the pan.

    A standard Pullman for toast and such this week. I'm actually interested to taste it. This simply looking sandwich bread has a LOT of fermentation under its belt. Yesterday a 'biga' was made - flour, water, and yeast. That was allowed to ferment for about three hours before it was refrigerated overnight. Then today the dough was made with it. It was allowed one full rise, then another before shaping and allowed to proof in its pan. So it should not lack for flavor. We'll see when it cools down.

    If you're gonna make a loaf of bread, make a loaf of bread. Besides, I got it free with Amazon points. And it's American made so everybody wins.

    Thanks to our mutual friend tcrideshd I've been playing with making buttermilk at home.

    I figure it's kind of like making yogurt.

    The first experiment was taking 1/4 cup store bought 1.5% fat cultured buttermilk and adding it to 2 cups of 2% milk (Both were cold/right out of the frig). Then once mixed well in the sealed jar letting it rest for 16-24 hours at room temp. After 16 hours I had a nice buttermilk but I resealed the jar and let it set for 24 hours. It was slightly more tangy and thicker.

    Stage two is freezing 1/8 of a cup of the new buttermilk and mixing it into 1 cup of the 2% milk. The freezing was the day before yesterday the test batch was put in the frig to start thawing last night and the new experiment started about an hour and a half ago.

    Since the mouths to feed around here have dwindled through the years I don't use a lot of buttermilk so I'm hopeful that the freezing wont' kill the bacteria that's needed to keep it active.

    Since tc likes a rich butter milk I'm contemplating seeing how the new buttermilk culture would work by adding it to regular Half and Half and letting it age for the 24 hours.

    I'm fixing biscuits tomorrow with the 'new' buttermilk and store bought lard I think it should be a nice combination with the red bean and ham shanks with some cottage cheese on the side.
