After what I feel is somewhat surprising amount of discourse about a baker struggling with a recipe - it dawned on me that we have a pizza thread but not one for bread.

So here we go - do with what you will. Biscuits can also be discussed as they are bread adjacent.

Here are some pics of my breads I've made.

Great idea for a thread!!!! My wife and I were just talking about baking bread over the weekend. Would love to hear some good recipes/how to tips on this. Particularly a Jalapeño Cheddar loaf and Sourdough bread.

I've never cooked my own sourdough. Is it worth getting into? The way I hear people talk about it, I'm assuming it's almost as addictive as heroin...

...take it easy on me, I'm a normal horn

I maintain a starter and cook mostly sourdough bread - I like the tang.

But my starter mostly lives in my fridge until I'm ready for it - including the feeding, it's a week long process and a 2 day baking process - but fun once you get the hang of it.

Also almost exclusively bake sourdough now. KAF's Pain de Campagne mostly, as it works well with refrigerator starter.
