I've been baking for several months now. I've concentrated on basic white sandwich bread in a pan. I use the white bread variation 3 in The Bread Baker's Apprentice. It comes out great and makes terrific sandwiches. Even better dinner rolls IMHO. I've been doing everything by hand, which has been very educational.
Thinking it's time to expand I gave the Lesson 2 bread from The Fresh Loaf website a go. It's still a yeast raised bread. Someday I'll try sourdough but for reasons not worth going into, I can't do a starter right now.
The recipe only gives volumes so I over-hydrated. The lessons I learned from hand mixing saved the day. It came out looking good and tasting good. Went really well with dinner. I'm happy with it and looking forward to baking more different breads.
