This book aims to show that breadmaking can be an option for even the time-poorest of home cooks. As with the majority of more detailed books, ‘Artisan Bread…’ .’ opens with Ingredients, Equipment, Tips and Techniques and the authors’ ‘Master Recipe’. With photographs relegated to colour inserts, the onus is on the text to guide you through the recipes- which, fortuitously, sound great, and are all accompanied by backstories. Very much in the authorative tone fans of America’s Test Kitchen- type publications will recognise (indeed, a recipe inspired by Christopher Kimball appears), this is a definitive collection of breads for every conceivable occasion- from ‘Peasant Breads’, through ‘Flatbreads and Pizzas’ to ‘Enriched Breads and Pastries’.
