Hi Ian,

It is possible to produce wonderful breads either way...

I became intrigued by the challenges of the old (that is no
commercial yeast) methods years ago, and have gone in that
direction since.

But, it's not a religious matter, so I would suggest that
you just experiment to see which method provides you better
bread, and more fun.

All the best,
