My name is Andy, and I'm also a bread baking addict. I think I've done a good job hiding it, but I'm terrified that one of my friends will come over one day and find the packets of yeast in my fridge, or that when I'm going out I'll miss a smudge of that telling white powder on my brow or shirtsleeve. For tips on being a more functional addict, I recommend the The Bread Baker's Apprentice by Peter Rienhart. If we're going to live with this monkey on our backs we can at least try to maintain our health. Peter has further tips in this regard in his latest book on whole grain breads. Best, Andy Hi.

I've been bitten and am now officially addicted to baking bread! Is there a 12 step program for people like us? Bread Bakers Anonymous??? Susan, we really like that ricotta bread and I hope you like it, too! Tanna, you are right! I’ve been bitten and am now officially addicted to baking bread!
