This video series is very informative & the recipe is quite good, but a word to the wise for anyone who is thinking of freezing dough for future loaves: I doubled the yeast called for by the recipe, but I found that the longer the dough is left in the freezer, the tougher it becomes and the less it rises. I was making a loaf from frozen 1-2 times/week, and each one was smaller than the last. I made my original batch 4 weeks ago, and the last dough I used only rose to just over an inch thick.
Good luck finding the fresh yeast. I finally had to go to Gordon Food Services and they ordered it for me. When that spoiled after about two weeks I tried instant yeast and it was as good as the fresh.
This vid is so nicely done and easy to understand...can't wait to get that new block of yeast and get started again. I gave up trying to make bread a couple of years ago, but this vid has remotivated me.
