The King Arthur Baking School: Lessons and Recipes for Every Baker by King Arthur Baking CompanyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I wanted some basic background information on bread making techniques. This is a beautifully comprehensive book written by the folks who make King Arthur products and teach classes at the King Arthur Baking School.
The basic bread recipe is the first one in the book, and covers quite a few pages. I knew I was in trouble when there was more than one page devoted to the various mathematical formulas you need in order to calculate the temperature of the water that you add to your bread mixture! This book was not for me -- much too complex and over-the-top for this person who just wants to make an occasional loaf of bread. Back to the library it goes. I'll look for something much more simplistic and leave this book to the home cook chef wannabees.
