Bread Illustrated: A Step-By-Step Guide to Achieving Bakery-Quality Results At Home by America's Test KitchenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The books and magazines published by America's Test Kitchen are always so well researched and of such high quality. This bread book is no exception! It's a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to making virtually every kind of bread. There's detailed instructions at the beginning of the book describing the steps involved with bread making. Each recipe has basic information: ingredients, rising time, baking time, total time, and key equipment. There's information on "why this recipe works" plus clear instructions and accompanying photos of each step.
I checked this book out of my local library in an attempt to become more proficient at bread baking. However, after reading this book and discovering the amount of time involved plus all the ways that things can go wrong, I think I'm going to stick with my bread maker machine instead! Nothing against this book at all; I just realized that I'm not ready for such a great time commitment.
