Here is the video showing the basic dough that prompted me to put a hold at the library for the book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. The book's website shows variations with step by step pictures.
My cookie pans are stoneware and I use the broiler pan for the steam. The wood from a fajita pan works to rest the dough on and slide onto the stone (like a pizza peel). I have already made a couple of batches of bread and my oldest dough is only a day. The bread tastes awesome and I can't wait to get some dough that is old! I keep the wet dough in a broken microwave rice cooker. Last night we had corn chowder for dinner and they would have made awesome bread bowls! Super yum! I had to get the 25lb bag of flour as I was going through flour like crazy. I found that approximately 4 1/2 cups of flour is in each pound of flour.
The book also has a bagel/pretzel recipe. Phoebe wants pretzels.
The recipe along with the video will get you a basic loaf until the library can get the book.
I'll post as I make more bread. What about your love of bread?

Look at that! A famous person posted on my blog! That is so freaking awesome, so is the book & bread. Today, I am making the wheat stalk for dinner.
Our afternoon snack is now fresh bread! Isn't it a shame that I have to make the wheat stalk for dinner since we ate the first for snacks-hahaha
