Tartine bread = the holy grail of all bread. Once you have this bread, nothing else will compare. Nothing will come even remotely close. The country levain has a yeasty interior chock full of air pockets, robust in flavor and is encased in a chewy crackly crust. This bread tastes like perfection, happiness, sucess - you feel like a winner when you eat this loaf. The country levain is the classic, if you've never had Tartine bread start here. If you have, get the walnut levain, it has a generous portion of whole walnuts baked throughout. If you've had that, try the sesame levain, it has a delicious seedy crust which makes me wish it had layers of the crust like an onion, just layers upon layers upon layers of crusty crust. Chad Robertson is the raddest baker and cool human extraordinaire...sometimes I see him on the street and I get all googly-eyed, this man sure knows his bread! Buy his
