I have never posted to this forum before and consider myself to be a 
beginner bread baker.  I recently found a copy of The Bread Bible by Rose 
Levy Beranbaum at my local library and had to check it out.  I started this 
morning on the Heart of Wheat Bread and just finished step 4 (I think it's 
on the third rise and the next step is to shape it for baking) and I had to 
write because I have never felt a dough that felt so good in my hands.  It 
was breathtaking... so soft, pliable, and yet strong!  My husband and 
friends think I'm crazy (I'm an advanced bread maker to them - although I 
have been known to use my bread machine for the kneading cycle on most 
occasions -like our weekly bread loaves - because I'm busy - but hey, who 
isn't?) but compared to most of the people on this list I'm a beginner.  I 
just wanted to share this moment with other people that would 
understand!  I have this book and Bread Baker's Apprentice (also checked 
this out from my library and knew I had to have it)  on my holiday wish 
list to start off my bread book collection.
