Matthew, perhaps try another corn meal? I’ve had great success with the grits from the bin at my local heath food store.

I know I am months behind everyone, but if anyone notices this comment I would love a little help. Twice now I have had a go at this recipe and twice I have been stumped at step one. My 6 oz of polenta and 8 oz of water makes a paste, not a sponge. The polenta soaks up the water and is pasty enough if I stick a finger in it the hole my finger makes stays static when I pull my finger out. The second time I weighed everything twice and recoded the tare of the mixing bowl. I have 14 oz “stuff”. It’s not instant polenta, I double checked that…

This is maddening as I have managed to get to a point where I am getting solid ciabatta and baguettes consistently. I figured this would be a sunday night cake-walk to tackle.

I made this bread for the first time yesterday. As you suggested it was my first recipe out of The Bread Baker’s Apprentice. It’s an excellent loaf with great texture and flavor. Thanks for the tip.

Hi! Got the book midway through last year as a gift after I’d been making all our household bread for about 6 months. Finally got around to setting myself the challenge. Made the Anadama this weekend and it was fabulous – 3 beautiful loaves. I had it fresh with butter, toasted with honey, and fresh again with sardines and avocado. Offspring couldn’t get enough of it. Looking forward to catching up to some of the serious bakers as I work through the book.

Hi Nicole! I know I’m eons behind, but I finally got a digital scale and a bench scraper and a new rolling pin, so I’m ready to rock this BBA challenge. Thanks for putting this together, it’s a total inspiration for some hardcore baking!

I finally bought the book (after “dating it” for almost an year!) and by chance ended up here.

So inspiring! I guess I’ll have to start a blog and catch up with you guys:)

Cheers,
