Flour Water Salt Yeast: The Fundamentals of Artisan Bread and Pizza
By Ken Forkish
Ten Speed Press - 2012
So delicious! Love the complex, earthy flavor of this bread! This didn't rise as much as the mostly white loaf I made with the same levain but still delicious with a nice crumb and crisp crust.

Good vanilla flavor and pretty moist. I used 2 6 inch cake pans instead of 3 (3 would have very thin layers). For the buttercream I subbed some of the butter with cream cheese, used a little less sugar and added some lemon zest. My favorite is still a recipe I found on Food 52.

The Elements of Pizza: Unlocking the Secrets to World-Class Pies at Home
By Ken Forkish
Ten Speed Press - 2016
As always, Forkish doesn't disappoint! This is flavorful from the extended fermentation, with just the right amount of chew (maybe the 00 flour?) - it was terrific. This held up to our toppings, staying crisp throughout. Can't wait to try the other dough recipes in this book.

This is the quickest, easiest puff pastry, with a huge pay off! Delicious for both sweet and savory "pockets".

Dessert For Two: Small Batch Cookies, Brownies, Pies, and Cakes

Tasted like the classic "bakery-style" chocolate chip cookie I grew up with. Not fancy but delicious. I skimped a bit on the chocolate chips and added 1/3 cup toasted pecans and a little extra salt. These are not cakey and mine spread a bit but weren't too thin - chewy in the center with nice crispy brown edges. Because I chose to make 8 large (rather than the recommended dozen) I turned my oven down to 350 after 8 minutes (at 375) and cooked another 5-6 minutes.

Great texture and flavor make this a wonderful banana bread. It has great banana flavor, rises nicely, very moist and has a proper crumb (isn't gummy or fall apart messy). I added walnuts and as always was a little generous with the spice. Mine took about 1 hour 20 minutes in the oven.
