I bake directly on a hearth insert till my wood burning oven is finished. <br /><br />You are right, finding great bread on this island is a challenge, that is why baking our own is so important. I have an article coming out in the summer issue of Edible Hawaiian Islands Magazine about The Big Island's own Itinerant Bakers from the Sandwich Isle Bread Company. This guy built a wood burning oven and put it on a trailer so he takes it around the island to farmer's markets and makes rustic loaves on the spot! You can subscribe to the magazine at www.ediblehawaiianislands.com or wait for the story to come online in a month or so. <br /><br />Meanwhile, if you are coming to the island again, let me know. <br /><br />~devanyDevanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17382289358624847776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554000759690492684.post-20717150568527200372009-06-04T02:16:05.627-10:002009-06-04T02:16:05.627-10:00Way to stay at it.

I like the idea of sourdough and reminds me I have to feed bob the blob (my sourdough starter) tonight.<br /><br />I am a huge pretzel fan and actually kind of bummed because I did not see a pretzel recipe in the BBA. Any recommendations for one?Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10806107620314531134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554000759690492684.post-77589118320672813792009-06-03T11:09:54.822-10:002009-06-03T11:09:54.822-10:00I'm so impressed you are doing these breads in...I'm so impressed you are doing these breads in the humidity of Hilo! And since I haven't found great bread ever on the Big Island (in my 4 or 5 times there), I'm going to be stopping by your house the next time I'm over there. Just kidding, of course, but it's great baking with you in the Challenge!Janicehttp://roundthetable.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554000759690492684.post-83274551036388748722009-06-03T06:17:36.172-10:002009-06-03T06:17:36.172-10:00Susie~ Thanks for the comment.

I did a batch yesterday and froze them. Now, if I could just find mini soy dogs to make appetizer sized ones!
