Book Review: The Only Bread Book You'll Ever Need...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the hard back copy of this book that I purchased used; this was not available when I began making artisan breads. I think I purchased every artisan bread book out there and this is, by far, the best there is. I find that I rarely use my other bread books because the techniques and recipes in this book are so well written and produce outstanding results every time.
One tip for steaming your oven when making artisan breads from this book or any other - preheat your oven to 25 degrees higher than the recipe calls for. Place a roasting pan on the bottom shelf of your oven. Place your baking stone on the shelf where you will be baking. Have your breads ready to place in the oven, open the oven and put 1 - 2 cups of ice (depends on the baking time, use 1 cup for anything under 45 minutes) in the roasting pan, put the bread in the oven, close the oven door and reduce the heat to the baking temperature specified in the oven. This produces just the right amount of steam and you don't waste time and energy opening the oven and spritzing water in it every so often.
Summary of Artisan Baking
It's a crunch and aroma you can savor in your mind before you even take a bite: that perfect crust and that perfect crumb you can get only in bread baked with craft and care. Artisan Baking puts that bread within reach of every home baker; even the beginner now deftly will be able to turn out sourdoughs, pizzas, corn breads, and baguettes that are truly out of this world. Step-by-step instructions explain the best professional methods, and mail-order sources for ingredients and equipment simplify the baking experience. This is a book to bake from, to learn from, to read from for the sheer pleasure of encountering the generosity of spirit of the country's finest bakers as they share their abundant expertise.First published five years ago to glowing praise and awards, Artisan Baking is "a rare combination of clear writing, meticulous recipes, and abundant expertise" (Fine Cooking) and the cookbook that "those who live for and on bread have been waiting for" (The New York Times). It was picked by the editor of Cookbook Digest as the one book she would choose if she could have only one bread-baking book in her life. Reprinted twice in hardcover, Artisan Baking is now, at last, in an affordable paperback format with a new, easier-to-handle trim size.
