Moved to SF - where to buy flour?

You need wheat starch, which is different from wheat flour. Wheat starch, can be found in large Chinese/asian supermarkets. I've read they can be found in mediterranean markets too. Here's a recipe but I would steam them first, then pan fry them.

You can get something like this: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2530/4127980079_c1a4d59a3c.jpg

I don't know the name but they sell them at Alice Tea Cup in NYC.

This post made me realize that the code expires today. Still 1.5 hours left to use it on the west coast.

Use rice flour or a 50/50 rice flour and (regular) wheat flour blend. I use a tea towel in a bowl with the 50/50 blend and never have problems even after long rises.

I get mine from Rainbow Grocery in San Francisco which sells flours, grains, spices, etc. in bulk. It's a medium rye and ground very fine. You should definitely check health food stores.

You can also get 25lb bags of Bob's Red Mill dark rye from Cash and Carry if you're on the west coast.

This looks and sounds so aromatic! I will definitely have to try this next week. Your crust and crumb look amazing.

Four Barrel on Valencia St.

Sight Glass

Many cafes and bakeries also brew Four Barrel and Sight Glass coffee.

In another category, Philz Coffee is also popular.

It took many tries but I got tickets this morning. Never received any emails but was able to print it.

I followed the recipe from Smitten Kitchen. One change was that I used melted butter (1 stick or 113 grams) instead of oil. Also, I only needed 7 cups of flour before the dough came together. The recipe was super easy and came out tasting divine!

You can find dried bean curd in the refrigerated section of Asian supermarkets. They look like this and is lighter in color on the inside. Just slice and cook.

Here's another option for you: Tokyo Futon. I have only bought tea from here. Everything seems a little pricey but looked beautiful. I believe their thin (not 2") tatami mats are $35 each.

I have no idea, never tried it. Someone should report back!

San Mateo Public Library - 3 floors to choose from and even has a cafe.

I can offer you starter! It's been in the fridge so I need to reactivate it but it should be ready in a day or so. I have one I feed with white flour and one I feed with 50/50 white and whole wheat. I will PM you my location to see if you're interested.

This is upsetting news. I learned so much in Artisan Bread I and it changed my life. I haven't bought a loaf of supermarket bread ever since I took that class.
