Late in December I attended a bread class at Brooklyn Kitchen taught by Nathan Leamy. It was an excellent class. I brought home a little jar of starter to be named Phil 2 Electric Boogaloo. I have grown him and cared for him for weeks. The first few loaves were good. Then I hit a slump where I over analyze everything and my poor bread suffered. I began to obsessively watch videos from The Fresh Loaf, a youtube video about a boulanger in French, I went to Barnes & Noble and poured over technique.
Yesterday, I finally made actual bread. The crust crackled after taking out of the oven like it was supposed to. The crumb was nice. Science prevailed. Now I just have to find people to give the bread to.
