 Hello from an aspiring baker Hi! My name is Sara and I found this message board while doing a search for info on bread. I must say that the few minutes I spent lurking were well worth it and I was compelled to register and say hello. I am a visual artist by trade, and I work in publishing (Web and print) too. I cook a lot, but like I tell my friends, I cook mostly because I am a picky eater... and the only way to ensure I eat good things to to cook it myself! Last year I decided to learn to make bread. I grew up in a traditional Chinese family that did not consume bread often at all, so it became a treat for me. Like potatoes and cheese too! I'm the type of person that strives for a degree of excellence when learning an art and I consider good baking an art. So I'm here to learn! I do want to brag a bit though...  I just taught myself to make sourdough bread and made my own starter using the instructions from this site:http://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking...sourdough.html Some of my friends and co-workers have liked my results so much that they won't accept loaves for free and insist on paying for them. One friend paid $2.50 for a loaf of bread from me! I'm still tickled by it. Here are some photos of sourdough herb bread and sourdough pizza dough.   Thank you for having this forum!

 Sara, you've really got a groove for bread. If you've picked up bread-baking in such a short time, imagine what else you can discover here! Nice to have you with us. Mezzaluna
