You can do your own Tartine loaf! Their cookbook was one of the first bread-specific cookbooks I read. I will say that it's one I appreciated much better after having some experience making rustic sourdough loaves under my belt; the narrative makes so much more sense having experienced baking than when first approaching it (for newbies, I'd suggest a Peter Reinholt text first, like the seminal Breadbaker's Apprentice).

Speaking of bread, I'd been talking about doing a non-sourdough for a while, and finally got around to loaves of enriched sandwich bread just in time for making lunch for my week going into the office. This is based on a Reinholt recipe and came out nearly perfectly. Let it rest for a few hours before slicing!
