Book Description
In the tradition of its phenomenally successful companion volume, Bread, Baking Bread offers a practical guide to baking and over 100 easy-to-follow bread recipes for every taste and occasion. In chapters on American and European country breads, picnic breads, dinner rolls, waffles, brioches, holiday breads, and bruschette, this generously illustrated collection explores the full range of delicious bread possibilities. Detailed information on adapting recipes to the time-saving bread machine, a thorough explanation of basic bread-making techniques, over 50 innovative recipes for cheeses and spreads, and a complete glossary of newly available whole grains round out this comprehensive volume. Illustrated with beautiful full-color photographs, Baking Bread is an authoritative, inviting guide to the most satisfying of culinary crafts.
From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by PH
This book offers a thorough education in bread baking with illustrations of techniques to prepare the dough (kneading, mixing, sponge method), how to use bread machines effectively, kinds of leavening measures, an explanation of grains and more. But it's the recipes that are the heart and soul (or stomach?) of the book. It contains over 100 bread recipes and variations, as well as 60 recipes for spreads and glazes: European breads, such as Peasant Bread with Figs and Pine Nuts; American breads, such as Pecan Wheat-Berry Bread; elegant dinner rolls and muffins for Sunday brunch; brochette, appetizer and celebration breads. Illustrated with photos so detailed you can almost smell the scent of warm bread, this book makes the jailer's sentence of "bread and water" something to look forward to.
Reader Reviews
This is not your ordinary bread book. It specializes in alternate flours like Millet, Quinoa, whole grains, and various seeds that can be bought at your local Whole Foods Market. It is a refreshing change of pace from everyday breads. My first recipe was the Dakota bread with ancient grains. My wife and her coworkers voted it the best bread that I'd ever made, and I've made some damn good breads from some great bread books. be warned that most of the recipes are elaborate and time consuming and require ingredients not available evrywhere.
