Well, I feel as if I've perfected the pizza side. I now want to move onto trying some bread and am looking for a decent, and easy recipe for a beginner. Something by weight versus volume and that doesn't involve a multi day process. I'd appreciate someone sharing something I can try. I'm cooking in a primavera. Thanks!

Re: Bread Recipe for Newbie
Try using a poolish or biga starter, they are simple and just require an overnight or 10 - 12 hour start. They make great tasting bread and are little or no effort.Originally posted by ronh View Post
