Not the best review, but not all bad either. I was just reading Bread
Builders, and I came across an item about AP and bread flour, and how AP is
actually a better flour to use for hearth type breads. Something about the
bread flour more likely to give tighter cells, not so open holes, better
suited for sandwich type bread. This is opposite of what I thought, I wasn't
using bread flour because it cost more, and I seamed to be doing fine with
King Arthur AP anyways. So perhaps the AP should have been tested (at
sourdoughhome) rather than the bread flour? Or maybe at least the AP might
be worth trying after all.

This (The Bread Builders) is a very good book, though the second half is
sort of wasted on me where I live, and I was quite surprised with Mrs.
Hutchndi's reaction to looking at the pictures. "Oooh, one of these ovens
would look nice in the backyard." I unfortunately had to explain to her that
I don't think zoning would allow it here. Seem like they use too much fuel
for a bake anyways.
