Description
Making bread is an ancient craft and a fulfilling experience, a skill that is learnt by touch and feel. There is nothing more satisfying than kneading, pulling, stretching and punching the dough, using a little yeast and sugar to transform its lumpen beginnings, as if by alchemy, into a loaf. But it's not all hard work. To get a truly wonderful bread, you can use a starter to do the work for you and it does wonders for the texture, flavours and aromas of the final bread. The Real Bread Campaign has been running since 2008, encouraging people to get baking and raising awareness of the additives that exist in most shop-bought loaves. InSlow Dough- Real Bread, learn secrets from the campaign's network of expert bakers to make a huge array of exciting slow-rise breads at home. Whether you want to make a Caraway Seed Rye Bread, a Fougasse Flatbread or an All-Butter Brioche, in these recipes you'll learn how to make different starters for different breads, as well as the fundamental processes (many of which you can just sit and wait for)- fermenting, kneading, first proof, last rising, and baking. In a world of mass-production and redundant additives, bread being among the worst offenders, this book, about real craftsmanship, is like a breath of fresh air.… (more)
User reviews
A must for everyone's cookery book shelf.
Very highly recommended.
I was given a digital copy of this book by the publisher Nourish via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review.
A compilation of bread recipes, I did find myself having to just read most of them as the ingredients were not easy for me to find, and the overall skill needed was a bit beyond my basic set. That being said, the
A good start, this book is definitely not for the beginning baker and will take some more work and a wider variety of ingredients than I have readily available. Worth the look for anyone starting to move into the more difficult British baking style.
