Old Posts 2. Creating a Wild-Yeast Starter (Mother)
Now that you've gathered up the equipment you need and started a COUNTER MOTHER (pages 28-29), how's she doing? And her name? One of mine is named after my great granny, Hilda Matilda.

Old Posts 7. English Muffins
Who doesn't think English Muffins make a breakfast? Maybe it's their slightly chewy texture that's soft at the same time it's also delicate and classy? Maybe it's the butter welled up in the eyes of an English Muffin? Maybe it's the jam? Ah, yes, strawberry. Raspberry? Maybe honey. Or cinnamon and sugar. Are English Muffins top of your list now for what you want to bake next?

Our Advanced Equipment Checklist on p. 61, along with basic kitchen equipment, will get you through the advanced section of our Wild Bread book. For a more detailed discussion, see Section 5, Equipment, p. 200. If you're already making bread, much of what is on our list is probably already in your kitchen. Feedback welcome!

Old Posts 2. Refrigerator Mother
Using the instructions on p. 58-59, you've determined you can take a step back from the daily care of your counter mother and turn her into a REFRIGERATOR MOTHER because she's finally ready for more advanced bread making. But just to make sure, did she double in height in 3 hours?

Old Posts 5. Advanced Cast-Iron Breads
We'd love to see your re-creation of the Advanced Skillet Bread on the front cover of Wild Bread. How'd your Advanced Dutch-Oven Bread turn out? What's your favorite flour to use for making cast-iron breads? Any tips? And wouldn't you know it, if you're thinking your cast-iron piece needs to be re-seasoned, there's a mighty good tutorial in MaryJane's Cast Iron Kitchen book.

Old Posts 6. Advanced Bagels and more ...
Who doesn't love a Bagel? Have you tried our Greek version, Koulouri? How about the Yiddish Bialy that's in a class all its own (kinda, sorta, but not really a bagel)? And when it comes to ceremonial breads, Challah (enriched with eggs and a little bit of sweetener) makes any table festive. Or you can pretend you're in Wales and enjoy a slightly sweetened loaf of Bara Brith.

Old Posts 7. How about some Advanced down-home loafin'?
Soft Pretzels dipped in mustard tops our Advanced loafin' list? After that, it's all about Sandwich Bread, Hamburger Buns, Parker House Rolls (divine), Flatbread, Pull-Apart Pumpkin Loaves, and Rustic Rye. Are there any others you can think of? Do show. And tell! Tips? Shortcuts? We can never get enough.
