My field of bread dreams.

Last year I was in Wales with a bunch of bakers with whom I had made acquaintance through Dan Lepard's forum. This year one of the participants has carried the torch to his backyard in Conzieu, France. Brad Prezant and I spent some time together talking, all the while appreciating the fact that we were the two sole Yanks present for the Bethesdabakin event. That didn't stop us from enjoying the great atmosphere and the bread bond that brought all sorts together for the sake of bread.

So as I sulk at work after a testy day with waiters and high humidity in New York City, my mind wanders and wonders on how the bakers are doing in France? Knowing them, it's all party and lots of good loaves coming out of the oven. I will ring up Brad in the morning and try to get a hold of some of the bakers for hints.news and perhaps some formulas?

Happy Baking y'all!
