Loved the episode.  I use wax paper to cover my work and line the pan for baking
to keep the bread from sticking.
I have a couple of bread makers around as well but, don't use them for anything other than kneading the bread.  They knead bread quite well and keep it at a slightly elevated temperature which is nice.
I will have to look around for some of your ingredients, assuming our FDA hasn't banned them.  
Interesting show.  
I also like watching Alien Bob from Slackware fame post his bread experiments on the web.  He bakes also.
