bread like it just came out of the oven in San Francisco. Or, like the
"Artisan Bread" that I buy here in Mpls. MN. Any tips ?"
I really like Nancy Silverton's book "Breads From The La Brea Bakery". It
has a long introductory section on the process, beginning with making a
grape starter (which I didn't do, I bought the one sold by King Arthur and
I love it). With one exception all of the breads are sourdough and take at
least 2 days.
