Learning to bake bread truly involves all of the senses. Since one cannot 'feel' the consistency of the dough over the Internet, viewing a video of how the dough behaves is, I believe, the next best thing. Paoliccia, prego.

I added a little bit of sugar to my second loaf as I thought the first one was a bit too savory. Either way, came out fantastic and even my wife who normally doesn't eat bread had a few pieces! :) Next I just need to work on the tightness of the loaf but I'm happy with the results (see: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nick_/3923399750/)!

Regular milk can be used as long as you adjust the quantity of water added to the dough. Aron, I just find dry milk more convenient to handle and use.
