The Big Book of Bread is a compendium of baking knowledge and insight for all bakers - regardless of skill, confidence level or amount of fancy kitchen gadgets.
Serving as an essential breadmaking manual, the book begins with the basics – an overview of the key bits of kit to help you on your baking journey to staple ingredients, including flour varieties and sourdough starter. James details the core breadmaking techniques before taking you on a tour of delicious, traditional bread recipes from around the world, many offered by his close-knit community of bakers from their countries of origin.
Illustrated throughout with stunning photography, The Big Book of Bread serves not only as a collection of recipes from across the globe but offers an anthropological exploration of bread and a comprehensive guide to baking expertise. Together with step-by-step explanations, easy-to-understand methods and recipes free from confusing hydration and baker’s percentages, this book will take any bread enthusiast from total beginner to confident bread baker.
