During my summer vacation, I rediscovered a passion that I had been ignoring for more than half a year: bread.

I thought I had written a lot about bread before, but when I started digging, all I could find was this old sourdough recipe from two years ago. That’s going to change soon: I am working on resurrecting this blog from its on and off hiatus that started pretty much a year ago, and one of the key ingredients in this blog renaissance will be bread.

Stay tuned for my first experimental baking reports, and while at it, check out this baking video of my two years old son Oiva making his first batch of Fougasse (following Richard Bertinet’s dough making principles).

Also, if you are on Facebook and enjoy making real bread, check out the Artisan Bread Bakers group and share your experiments.

Finally, as today is my birthday once again, I thought I’d point you to this old post I wrote on my 27th birthday: 27 Years and Counting. Dad, you still rock!
