HISTORY. A few years ago, gastronomy columnist, "new York times" mark Bittman created a furor by publishing an article on the revolutionary, in his words, the method for baking great bread at home. Minimalist technology invented by Baker Jim Lahey (Jim Lahey), the owner of a thriving bakery. "This method is surprisingly simple, - says Jim, - and gives fantastic results." Bittman who visited the master-class on baking, hosted by the Baker-revolutionary, was struck: no special ingredients, equipment, machinery, low effort, and the output of bread with a great crispy crust and porous crumb. Would you believe that the dough for this wonderful loaf of whole wheat flour and I'm not churned? I almost didn't formed, well unless slightly? And what cared he's not on the sheet not on a form, and in a heavy ceramic saucepan with the lid? About the secret of this bread with a light hand Mark Bittman called the Great Bread, - under the cut. Many letters, photos and even one movie - for clarity. Those who are baking homemade bread is not interested in, you can sleep peacefully and scroll the tape forward. The rest go under the cut.
