Thanks for the links PC, I'm gonna try to make a starter for myself following the one recipe. I had it years ago and we used gallon ziplock bags to start it in and just kneaded it through the bag every day.

Hopefully it will work and I will have some fresh baked bread in ten days!

Oh cool idea PC! I'm going to make a biga and give to DS for a pet!!
My husband's family is from the Florence area, a little town called Meldola.
I bought this book after checking out of the library. The author use the biga method to make really different breads. I've enjoyed everything I've made from the book:

That link is to our one and only MissPrissy's blog. All I did was post a link.
We never knew what a starter was until an envelope from her showed up
one day.


Kristin, let me know when you want me to come over and sample some
of those breads.

I'm thinking tomorrow may be a bread baking day. But the ones from that book need a few days for the starter thingies to do their thing. (Dumbest sentence I've written in a while!)
Marlin just got regular French bread when we all met up at the fair last fall. That was a sight. All these people in the chicken barn, and he's sniffing my backpack! LOL
