Product Description
Bread contains 118 detailed, step-by-step recipes for an array of breads: versatile sourdough ryes; breads made with pre-ferments; and simple, straight dough loaves. Recipes for brioche, focaccia, pizza dough, flat breads, and other traditional baking staples augment the diverse collection of flavors, tastes, and textures represented within these pages. From the delicate flavor and aroma of classic French baguettes to the mellow smoothness of Roasted Garlic Levain, a bread for every season and every palate is here.
Each recipe clearly outlines the key stages, with easy-to-use charts that list ingredients in both American and metric measures, quantities appropriate for home baking, and baker's percentages. Hundreds of drawings vividly illustrate techniques, and 35 handsome color photographs display finished breads. Sidebars accompany each recipe and section with valuable tips, from the subtle art of tasting and evaluating breads to the perfect fare to complement Vollkornbrot. A complete chapter on decorative breads - with instructions on techniques as well as a wide variety of exquisite patterns - will inspire magnificent display creations.
Laced throughout the book, Hamelman's personal narratives offer a compelling portrait of a lifelong love affair with bread and vividly communicate this passion. For bakers seeking to finesse this time-honored craft or simply to learn the tricks of the trade from a real master, Bread is a resource to be consulted time and time again.
It's really quite simple to make a loaf of bread: Take some flour, a measure of water, a bit of salt and yeast. Read the first page

This review is from: Bread: A Baker's Book of Techniques and Recipes (Hardcover)
I am a home baker, admittedly a bit obsessed with baking bread, but of all the bread books I've read, and that's many many, this is my absolute favorite. The recipes are all flawless, the techniques great, and because of this, I've make bread better than most bakeries in my mid-size city. It has a range of recipes, both including yeast and starter, french, rye, challah, special doughs - pretty much the whole range. This book isn't for everyone, but I like it far better than the Reinhart series, and it is truly the one bread book I couldn't live without.
