The New York Cabbie Cookbook

You could start with a no knead rustic bread to give you the energy to make a pole lathe if you haven’t one yet. They’re really easy. Irish soda bread without currants or raisins. It’s the first bread I made decades ago for my Dad. We found a good recipe in this cookbook for rustic loaf and a lot of other good recipes https://www.amazon.com/New-York-Cabbie-Cookbook/dp/B001QCX8F0. This is a great book https://www.amazon.com/Bread-Bible-Rose-Levy-Beranbaum/dp/0393057941
