3rd Floor Kitchen
This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
This was my first attempt at bread. Part of the inspiration for this blog has been my quest over the years to remove myself from the tyranny of the quarter teaspoon, and towards techniques that are as cheap and simple as possible. Mark Bittman has had this cold for years; this bread, a recipe he published from Jim Lahey at Sullivan Street Bakery in Lower Manhattan (incidentally my favorite bakery in the US) was baked in homage to him. It calls for flour, salt, yeast. Tastes awesome, costs nothing, hard to mess up. Feed America!!!

Welcome to 3rd Floor Kitchen
It’s a place where things are made to be delicious without recipes.
