There's a very good recipe on the site. And at the bottom of the page there are some links to the actual video presentation (you can see it right on your computer.) Great stuff!! I love actually seeing how things should look every step of the way.

These books cover other hearth breads. Also, here's a link to a clever idea for steaming your loaves. The author said the "patent" was a tongue-in-cheek joke, but in software, I've seen stupider things patented, so I askled. I suggested he should write it up as a tip for a cooking magazine. I use a tilted drip pan of quarry tiles and a removable tube instead, but the idea's the same.
