How good is bread?
There is nothing like the smell of baking bread, so why not fill your house with that delightful aroma while trying your hand at some really different varieties?
The book is described as, “The definitive guide to making bread by hand or machine.” We are lucky enough to have a machine and though its considerably harder working by hand, the results can still make it well worth the effort.
It’s not difficult to be inventive with bread. Most people settle for a simple white, wholemeal or multi-grain loaf, with the occasional pull apart at picnics. But there is so much more you can experiment with. Some of the suggestions in this book should get your creative (and digestive) juices flowing; buckwheat and walnut, spiced potato and onion and gingered fig and orange bread. As you can already guess there is a large selection of combinations for both sweet and savoury breads that are ideal for every day occasions. There are also handy sections on gluten free and yeast breads which will be invaluable to anyone who cannot tolerate these ingredients. With over 75 different recipes there should be something that appeals to everyone.
There are easy to follow, step by step directions, as well as general instructions for the bread maker, making bread by hand and basic techniques. There is also some useful information on ingredients commonly used in bread which will help you with decisions about what products to buy in the future. Sara Lewis has been the cooking editor of Practical Parenting for 12 years and has published several other titles, and she brings this wealth of experience to culminate in a really refreshing book about a common household food.
