There is nothing in the world like it. Once you have had it you will never be the same and certainly never forget it. I have literally dozens of recipes collected over the years.
About every two or three years I try one and ultimately fail again. When I was growing up in Seattle my father lived for Salt Rising Bread. Van de Kamps Bakery made it twice a week and he never failed to be there to buy two loaves.
We had it toasted as often as possible. My father was willing to share but you had to be there, no saving allowed. The smell is unlike any other bread you have ever smelled. I have friends who have wondered how I could eat anything that smelled like dirty socks well .believe me you can and will ultimately become addicted.
Chef Stephen Block, in a weak moment, offered to try and make it, never heard about it again. To give him full credit, he has a great deal more to do than cater to some crazy bread fanatic.
If you check on the internet, there are oodles of recipes. However, the general consensus is that it is very tricky. Speaking from experience, "you better believe it".
