Thank you Linda, Bob, Jim, Mike, PixelStan77, quixdraw! I was slow in catching the bread baking bug. The Washington Post had an article in April about the bread / quarantine craze, including a recipe and a bunch of tips. My next several trips to the local groceries found all the flour sold-out and it couldn't be ordered online either. So, it wasn't until late Summer I finally tried making my sourdough starter.

I am a good cook but not a good baker... but I love breads and have to count on other's expertise.

The origins of bread-making are so ancient that everything said about them must be pure speculation. One of the oldest sourdough breads dates from 3700 BCE and was excavated in Switzerland, but the origin of sourdough fermentation likely relates to the origin of agriculture in the Fertile Crescent several thousand years earlier. ~ Encyclopedia of Food Microbiology

Generally however they do not heat it up at all, but only use the dough kept over from the day before; manifestly it is natural for sourness to make the dough ferment. ~ Pliny the Elder, Roman author, historian and philosopher

As mentioned elsewhere, some new equipment arrived to Chicago last weekend for bread baking. Here's some of the results from the Monday morning baking day.

Yes for the brotforms, although it seems some sort of design to imprint on the top of the bread loaves is the real 'next level' of equipment I'm suppose to have.

Thank you RJM, bleirer, Carol, Jim! The more popular baking effort here in Chicago this quarantine season has been DoubleTree brand chocolate cookies. They published the recipe for make a make at home version when everyone stopped coming to their hotels.

I wonder if the previously mentioned “LAME’ “ is the little tool used to score the dough just before BAKING??.RJM. I made one using a piece of black walnut, double edge blade and a couple little brass bolts and wing nuts.
