My path to bread making.

I decided to practice my kneading skills prior to trying out some of my homemade sourdough starter (It's too young right now). It's a mexican anise seed bread from a sourdough website. It is not made with sourdough, but instant yeast.



I thought it turned out great. My wife got the idea to put honey butter on it and that made it even better.

Looks great! Care to share the recipe? I'd like to try it in my brick oven.

I cheated and used this guys tutorial of sorts and recipe. I'm a complete newb to baking, so that is how I find justification.

I "simulated" a brick oven using saltillo tiles in the oven. Not exactly the same thing, but hopefully lands me somewhere in the ball park. If I really end up enjoying this hobby, I will probably build an outdoor firebrick oven at the new house. I really like the idea of doing what's in your avatar.
