I can't find my Tassajara bread book so I looked this recipe up here. Just going to say, This recipe is not accurate. There is no butter in the original recipe. I will try it with butter to see how it comes out.

In response to an earlier comment: Butter is given as an option on pages 24 and 44 of the original (1970) Tassajara Bread Book.

Thank you for providing this, my original 1974 book is packed up. I was taught by someone who took the Tassajara class to let the yeast honey and water sit 15 min, then add enough flour to make a "thick mud" in corporating lots of air by bringing spoon up thru the batter 100 times. Let that sponge sit 30-40 min and proceed as above. Treat it gently with lots of love! Thank you again

in my 1970 book it was to rise the sponge which was half of the flour as the above comment says

Jeez, guys, I just mixed up my sponge, only to now notice that you have doubled the amount of water from the original recipe in the bread book!!!! Not good!!!
