early fruits


The tiny kitchen where I'm learning to bake bread.


My second attempt at ciabatta. I felt more comfortable with the wet dough, and it did turn out a bit better . . . but still a long way to go!


Almost everything possible is broken on this old, stolen, well-traveled oven. But it still bakes!
 

The poolish baguettes made me proud. Textured flavor, cool crumb, crispy crust.  Yay!
