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:)

i just ordered BBA and I’m looking forward to trying this Anadama bread. I wish I had found out about the challenge earlier, I would have had an excuse to buy the book sooner! At least now I know where to come for inspiration and beautiful pictures as I work my way through BBA.

As an experiment, I made a half recipe, using a mix of 1/3 course cornmeal (polenta) + 2/3 fine cornmeal. Then I used a bread machine to do all the mixing/kneading and added very little additional flour. That loaf came out fabulously risen. Something about that wet dough is important!

I started this challenge 3 weeks ago. The Anadama Bread was so good that I’ll definitely make it again. Here’s my post: http://ap269.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/bba-challenge-1-anadama-bread/

I just made this bread today and OMFSM (Flying Spaghetti Monster), it turned out amazing. I only wish I hadn’t cut the formula in half and had made 2 loaves. Def will make this again. Thanks for introducing me to the challenge.

I was a little late but I am joing the BBA Challenge. Planning on baking my first challenge next week (or maybe this weekend!!!). This is so much fun! The map is awesome! I just realized how many BBA bakers there are in San Diego, CA! Woohoo!
