"Delay is natural to a writer. He is like a surfer—he bides his time. Waits for the perfect wave on which to ride in. He waits for the surge (of emotion? of strength? of courage?) that will carry him along." (E.B. White, The Paris Review Interviews, 1969)

Made two loaves of Coccodrillo (Italian crocodile) Bread. It's name, which means "crocodile" in Italian, comes from the scaly-looking crust. It has an incredibly crisp crust, a very dense and chewy crumb, and an amazing taste. The starter includes dark porter, which helps create the yeasty flavor along with the semolina flour. It takes more than a day to make because of the starter, but it is totally worth it.

Damn that looks good!Did you do that in a regular (i.e., home) oven?
Aye. That's the best part. It wasn't even at 500 degrees. 400 degress on a regular baking sheet.
Wow!
And, wow!
You guys are my bake-heros!
