Hi Gwen! Sorry about your bread, but at least it still tasted good! You might try adding a little more water when you mix the biga. I find that sometimes I need to adjust the amount of water in the dough, even when I’m making the same recipe again. I’ve learned to let the dough be wetter than I think it should be, especially when the dough has plenty of time to rest. The flour will continue to absorb water for a while after you mix the dough. Also, make sure that the biga is covered when it sits in the fridge so that it doesn’t dry out overnight. Make sure you give the dough enough time to double in size when it rises, and be gentle when shaping the loaves so that you don’t lose too much volume from the dough. I hope your next loaves come out light and airy! Let me know how it works out for you.

Hi, I just made this bread and it turned out delicious but not airy like yours. My biga looked more like a small firm dough than a starter like yours. Any suggestions?

Sound great. Forntunately I have a lot of rosemary on my plot, so I can start soon with baking.

Thank you for your participation in World Bread Day 2009. Yes you baked!

That sounds like a great challenge! I’ve made vegan goodies before, but I’ve never tried to bake without wheat. I’ll work on that!

Hey Jeanne! This is a fun blog! If you want a fun bread challenge, you can help me find a good (or even decent) bread recipe that does not contain any wheat, eggs, or dairy! You are making my mouth water too!
