Ken Forkish - Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast
Baking is a craft that makes you want to do it again and again, trying various flour blends, improving your shaping technique, or simply following the same procedure but trying to do it better with each repetition to improve the flavor of your bread, the volume of the loaf, or perhaps the color of the crust.
