Would you believe my first attempt at bread was sourdough?  I had an
American History/American Literature class in high school where in we
students were supposed to do some sort of project that involved something
to do with either the Colonial period, or the expansion of the West.  I had
 copy of Reader's Digest _Back to the Basics_ which described making
sourdough, so that was my project!  I started the sourdough starter the
week before, and baked the bread the night before the project was due.  The
first loaf turned out great!  (Which was _very_ encouraging.)  I think I
might have seen my grandmother make bread when she'd visited when I was
little, but my mother never did, so all I had to go on was what the book
said...
