A year in the baking

This evening when I was preparing dinner (soup), I decided spur of the moment that we needed to have some bread to go with it. I was able to mix, shape, and bake a small loaf of crusty Italian bread in about an hour. I realized that I have Italian breads mastered - I can bake you anything Italian at the drop of a hat. But I've always wanted to be a master of ALL breads.

So...

I've started this blog to track my progress. I'm going to attempt to bake (and hopefully perfect) every type of bread from around the world that I can find a recipe for. I figure this will take between 1-2 years to complete, just with the list I've already compiled. Some specific breads are listed because I want to make sure to try those (Angel biscuits is a subset of biscuits that I list specifically) and others are more general (I intend to make more than 1 kind of French bread and dinner roll)

Here's the list I have so far...
