I started to write a reply explaining why simple breads are hardest to make well (for me, anyway), but Mike Avery has made that task unnecessary. Thanks, Mike. -- Jeff -----Original Message----- From: ] On Behalf Of Mike Avery Sent: Friday, June 08, 2007 1:21 PM To: A ported usenet news group Subject: Browning Mike Romain wrote: Funny enough I too find the plain bread harder to make well. Good Italian food is very, very simple. It relies upon the freshness, taste, appearance and integrity of the ingredients and the skill of the cook. As a result, it is very hard to make well. Similarly, when all you have is flour, water, salt and a riser.... you have nothing to hide any flaws in your bread. Doing a simple lean bread well is very difficult. A bit of cinnamon will cover up an off taste. |
