Question: Why do you want to put all that stuff in your bread? Do=20
you know that you can make pretty good bread with just flour, water,
salt, and leavening?

Well, I don't know how long you have been doing it, but, for beginners,
the simple formula is a good one to start with. After that, almost =
anything
else added to the dough makes a good result more difficult to attain.

Of course, you may be one of those with a cultural predisposition for
doing things in most complex ways, so, if so, I apologize for such a
bland recommendation.

Your photo presentation is very good, and most interesting.
