My Review
I have been baking bread for many years and when offered this bread baking cookbook for beginners, I was excited for it to arrive. This cookbook is amazing, there was a lot of thought and research done in writing the book.
The book covers the process of baking bread, with detailed explanations of the forming of bread, techniques, proper equipment to use and recipes. The recipes themselves are very detailed with some recipes having pictures that show how to make the bread. The recipes cover so many different kinds of bread, from no-knead bread, kneaded bread, and Sourdough recipes. Some recipes are pretty basic and easy to follow while others are more in-depth.
As I was perusing the book, I learned a bit more than I already knew and found that there are recipes that I will definitely be making! It is that time of year for fresh homemade bread, I can already smell the yeast and baked product!
If you are a baker this book would enhance what you know or if you are a beginner wanting to learn how to make bread, this book is for you!
I received the book for review purposes.
