Default Biga breads - Carol Fields Bread book

Hi Dee,

You and I should team up to bake; I've never had a failure on a Carol Field
recipe. However, most, if not all, of the recipes require additional yeast.
The Como and Coccodillo breads are the only ones in the front of the book
that don't require added yeast. If you are trying to make another bread
from this book with no added yeast, then it's another kettle of fish all
together.

I've made a lot of the recipes, most of them several times. Which one are
you trying to bake and what's happening?
