UPDATE: We have a winner! Comment #78 belongs to Nancy. Congratulations and thanks to everyone for participating!

I started this blog a year ago. The first post was about Peter Reinhart’s French Bread from The Bread Baker’s Apprentice. 60 bread-related posts later, my hands are supple from kneading all that dough but the list of recipes to try has never been longer.

Joining The Bread Baker’s Apprentice Challenge increased the queue by 43 items. This post will be updated regularly as MY way of keeping track of MY progress .

Since this self-serving post has zero value to you, I’ve decided to give away a copy of your Peter Reinhart book of choice. The book you see above has all sorts of suspect stains and crustiness, but if you want it, I’ll gladly send it over.

On second thought, that’s the first bread book I ever owned so its sentimental value is off the charts. May I suggest picking a brand new copy from this list instead?

If you win, tell me which book you want and I’ll send it to you directly from Amazon. It’s sort of like buying you a beer but with more carbs and less buzz. If I understand Amazon’s international shipping policy correctly, they’ll send books anywhere so feel free to enter wherever you are.

Just leave a comment and say hi, tell a joke, or write about the meaning of life. All I ask is that you enter only once. I’ll randomly select one winner on May 31.

First of all, the bad news: there will be no Bread Baking Day in September and October. What’s to keep our ovens fired up now that the mercury is dropping, you may ask? The good news is it’s almost time for world’s largest virtual breadbasket, the 3rd annual World Bread Day, to be hosted in October by none other than Bread Baking Day’s creator, Zorra of 1x umrühren bitte. We all have plenty of baking to do until the new theme for Bread Baking Day is announced in November, so look forward to details and the official announcements!

In the meantime, check out 35 whole grain bread entries for this month’s Bread Baking Day. Enjoy the roundup!

It’s my first time getting tagged with a meme and I want to say something cool like, “I had to look it up on Wikipedia because I don’t know what it is.” I know exactly what it is, though. It means that I now have a grand total of five readers and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks to Deb of Kahakai Kitchen for noticing my little corner on the interwebs and finally using the correct gender-specific pronoun to address my masculine self. She even edited “her site” to “his site” in her meme post.

• Sweet Bird of From Whence the Sweet Bird Sang. Because we both like high thread count sheets and earth tones. I wonder what else we have in common.
• Tommi of Brown Interior. Because visiting her blog curbs the worst carb cravings.
