Looks good. You've got me wanting to try my hand at bread. I picked up some Yuca flour and Queso Fresco to make Yuca bread so we'll see how it goes. Though I might actually try some yeast risen bread... I just looked at my pantry and realized I have all the ingredients already.
After I make breads I don't have anything to put them in to prevent them from drying out. They are usually too large to put into ziplock bags and such.
Considering stealing bags from the grocery store bread section. Anyone got another solution?
I buy individual cookware piecemeal. That way, I can get highly specialized pieces for individual things I commonly do, and minimize having extra things I don't need.

There's a Restaurant Depot pretty nearby where we live, actually. Only tricky part is that you need to be part of a non-profit or an actual restaurant owner to shop there.

The best restaurant supply store is in South America. Specifically, it's the Amazon.

Maybe, maybe not. I'm not sure if Amazon sells true restaurant gear. They probably sell restaurant quality gear, but it's still gear aimed at regular consumers. It's may be as well-made as any stuff you'd get a real restaurant supply store, but it also would probably be fancier looking and pricier. Most real restaurant equipment is relatively plain looking as professional chefs don't care how fancy their utensils are. The average consumer, however, seem to associate "fancy looking" with "quality," though.
Alton Brown is super gadgety sometimes but knows his shit. Mark Bitman is also good to follow. You know, right tool for the right job. But Jamie Oliver will teach you how to use a rolling pin 8 different ways.

This is pretty true my Dad is fine except for knives which he requires to be a certain quality or takes his own. Having said that, by no means are the utensils poor quality as they have to go through many heavy wash cycles and conduct heat very well yet not instant burn the contents as the quantities he make varies from huge to individual dishes.

The current bread recipe I want to undertake is this: http://benstarr.com/blog/how-to-make-the-best-loaf-of-bread-on-planet-earth/. And this is like a Pete-level recipe as it takes 10 days at minimum to make the seed culture, the barm, and baking it in a specific way.

Are there some main pieces you use more often than others? I would recommend Scanpan but it's only worth buying when they have their massive sales on.
I plan on getting a mid sized cast iron pan and a few extra thick baking sheets too.
