The King Arthur Baking Company big book of bread 125+ recipes for every baker

Who better to bring out a comprehensive bread book than King Arthur, America's premier supplier of all sorts of milled grains for both home and professional bread bakers? Measurements appear in metric weights as well as volume measures, and each recipe includes a time line that will help significantly with budgeting time and effort. A whole illustrated discourse just on creating and cultivating a sourdough starter encourages the hesitant to add it to their repertoires. Home bakers will be eager to try Japanese milk bread or sky-high Nanterre bread, a brioche to astonish guests. Some may note a few omissions, such as Georgia's khachapuri, but other flatbreads from around the world stack up on the pages. Among the complex breads, a giant sticky bun impresses. Real bread lovers will be delighted to know that stale sourdough bread can be transformed into a rich, savory lasagna. This book's allencompassing coverage of breads in all their technical and artistic glory, along with King Arthur's reputation, make this a central addition to any library's cookery collection.
