wow, glad i joined this newsgroup, you people are great..... yes, i already
am waiting for my little package from Carls friends, and i am looking
forward to using this starter once i get it right, i will settle for biga
bread tomorrow. while i have your attention, let me ask about my oven if you
dont mind. i have a (new withint the last 6 months) jennair oven with bead
proofing, standard and quick whatever that means, convection and standard
electric oven, and i was wondering if any of you know much about this type
stove, if any of the options should be used to optimize my bread baking, and
if stem creation can in any way be detrimental to an electric oven.

Well, not totally exactly on the money. There is the option of
getting a known starter, and following the simple instructions that
come with it. That, in the present hypersophisticated milieu,
however, must seem to be an entirely countercultural suggestion.

For instance:
