Things I'm afraid to make but would like to make - bread. I've made it twice, once was a total disaster and once was just ok. Both were quick and supposedly easy recipes. I decided I wanted to eat this - So I started the biga on Friday and by 3 o'clock on Saturday, I had a ton of beautiful bread. And even better, it actually tasted like I had bought it from a nice bakery! The recipe was intense, but easy to follow. The only thing - How do you shape a boule and the rolls? Mine came out a tad lop-sided. I made this over the weekend. Things I’m afraid to make but would like to make – bread. I’ve made it twice, once was a total disaster and once was just ok.

I was desperately looking for a rosemary potato bread recipe and ended up having to create one of my own. Next time I'll be sure to searc the Smitten first before embarking on a new recipe. :) Here's mine in case you're curious to compare...no biga in mind though. http://straightfromthefarm.wordpress.com/2008/02/08/rosemary-olive-oil-bread/ Huh, I really wish I’d seen this post a few months earlier.

If you want another great bread, his foccacia( from an Aug 2004 issue of Fine Cooking) is fabulous. There is very little hands on time( its in the fridge for 24hrs)to this bread. Its the best foccacia I've made. Peter’s breads are amazing, he’s a great teacher. If you want another great bread, his foccacia( from an Aug 2004 issue of Fine Cooking) is fabulous.

Duff?! Well, to each their own. ;) Jocelyn -- Nope, sadly. Well, kinda not sadly for me. We're leaving at the crack of dawn Saturday for vacay, from NJ no less, so no bday parties that start at 10 p.m. for me. Hopefully when I get back this weather will have fixed itself and we can start skybar season already! Also, Dave and I have serious Santiago partying envy, we've decided. Why don't our clubs look like that? Jenn -- So, since I haven't tried a sourdough starter yet, I can't say with any authority that it would or would not work, though I'm flattered you asked. But I bet you can work it out, just like you said. I'm sure it will be delicious. Nicole — Duff? Duff?! Well, to each their own. ;)

I use it as much as possible, as well as grody. Haven't heard that one since about 4th grade, eh? I do have a question about your bread. Do you think it's possible to use a sour dough starter in place of the biga your recipe calls for? The only thing I foresee, is my Russian sour dough starter is a thick liquid instead of a dough like the biga would be. Hmm.. Perhaps I could feed it, get it active, then make it into a dough and that would work the same? What does the bread master think? Deb – Borked is a great term!

I am totally with you- I love ciabatta bread. Your loaves look so perfect, yet real like something I can't wait to dip in olive oil sprinkled with parmesan and freshly ground pepper! This bread is clear competition for Giada's cleavage! I can almost smell this! I am totally with you- I love ciabatta bread.

It's not that her forehead is too big, it's that there's just not "enough" Giada. Way too skinny. I'll say the same for Sandra lee, and add that I find her obnoxious and discustingly shallow (Not to mention perpetually soused). Unfortunately, I must admit I find Ray-Ray (Rachael Ray) attractive, but WAY too bubbly for me ;) Honestly though, I'd sooner be seen with Paula Deen than Giada (She'd be more fun!)

I'm certain he isn't looking at her forehead. Is it strange that I find Duff from Ace of Cakes attractive? He just looks like so much fun to be around!
