Shows about baking bread

Did anyone every watch the bread baking show on PBS. I can't remember what it was called, but the show featured a monk who would teach you how to make several different recipes.

Shows about baking bread

There are many variables in the bread baking process that just won't translate to the printed word. Bread baking is about touch and is also visual . The environment of the baking process also comes into play...Humidity ,temperature....etc.. That is what I'd like to see being discussed along with the nutritional advantages of homebaked bread in a show.. If you compare all that is on the supermarket shelves I think none of it will even remotely touch what comes out of the home oven if done properly...

All the equipment and ingredients are available...and there is enough literature to help along the way....Professional formulas and home recipes are not a problem side by side because they are all based on chemical formulas based on %'s of flour ...all you need is a calculater...All this stuff could be taught in the show
