Book Reviews of Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day
Book Review: For beginners only... but you won't be disappointed
Summary: 5 Stars
There's some kind of trend regarding books saying "artisan bread", as if recipes for rustic, Eurostyle breads haven't been a mainstay in baking books since at least the mid-90s if not before. I'm not entirely sure what I think of this; certainly diversity in bread styles is a good thing, but it all seems to come back to Jim Lahey's no-knead bread. It's pretty in vogue. But if you're going to buy one of these books, and you have no bread-baking experience at all, this should be a very good choice for a starter book.
Reinhart's books tend to appeal to people who are pretty comfortable in the kitchen and have a good handle on the basics of baking, and this one is a departure from that, assuming nothing and giving the basics from the ground up, making it a little too basic for my collection but perfect for the sort of person who claims they burn water, or for a younger cook who wants to learn breadmaking from the top expert in the field. It's certainly more than enough to take some of the mystery out of a process many people find among the most intimidating kitchen tasks out there.
Would a more experienced cook benefit from this? I doubt it. The Bread Baker's Apprentice, Crust and Crumb, and Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads are all geared towards that type of cook; where this book comes in handy is for the strictly-beginner side of things. You might want it if you're a Reinhart completist, or you flip through it and find a recipe you like that isn't in any of his other stuff. But if you need a gift for a beginning cook, it's perfect.
Summary of Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day
Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day distills the renowned baking instructor' s professional techniques down to the basics, delivering artisan bread recipes that anyone with flour and a fridge can make and bake with ease.Reinhart begins with the simplest French bread, then moves on to familiar classics such as ciabatta, pizza dough, and soft sandwich loaves, and concludes with fresh specialty items like pretzels, crackers, croissants, and bagels. Each recipe is broken into "Do Ahead" and "On Baking Day" sections, making every step--from preparation through pulling pans from the oven?a breeze, whether you bought your loaf pan yesterday or decades ago. These doughs are engineered to work flawlessly for busy home bakers: most require only a straightforward mixing and overnight fermentation. The result is reliably superior flavor and texture on par with loaves from world-class artisan bakeries?and all with little hands-on time.
America's favorite baking instructor and innovator Peter Reinhart offers new time-saving techniques accompanied by full-color, step-by-step photos throughout so that in no time you'll be producing fresh batches of: Sourdough Baguettes ? 50% and 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Loaves ? Soft and Crusty Cheese Bread ? English Muffins ? Cinnamon Buns ? Panettone ? Hoagie Rolls ? Chocolate Cinnamon Babka ? Fruit-Filled Thumbprint Rolls ? Danish ? Best-Ever Biscuits
Best of all, these high-caliber doughs improve with a longer stay in the fridge, so you can mix once, then portion, proof, and bake whenever you feel like enjoying a piping hot treat.
