I used some yeast I had opened a few weeks ago that was waiting in the fridge for its heyday into the next loaf. It was barely risen after an hour. I decided I used too little yeast (when you bake regularly you have natural yeast in the air, but I guess I misjudged.) I sprinkled in a bit more, probably against ever rule. It improves, but not dramatically. It became a day long process. I left it in the oven and directed my daughter when to take it out. I wasn't home for dinner, but at breakfast my kids told me the bread was REALLY good. <br /> Another adventure in bread baking!

Still, what I like most is being able to make it all in one day, or over several. And knowing how.

Your writing here reminded me of Gladys Taber's, who is a favorite of mine. In one of her books she talks about baking souffles and also lemon meringue pies over and over again until she learned their secrets and mastered them. So much of what happens in the kitchen (and in the garden for that matter ) requires just that method of careful attention to detail and trying again.
