This exceptional book is a must-have for both home and professional bread-makers, featuring over 50 distinctive recipes and more than 200 illustrative step-by-step photos. It teaches you how to recreate the renowned bread of master baker Chad Robertson in the comfort of your own kitchen.
Chad Robertson, hailed by many as America’s premier bread baker, is the co-owner of Tartine Bakery in San Francisco – a city with a rich breadmaking tradition. According to Chad, bread is more than an accompaniment to a meal, it is the heart of daily life, and each loaf narrates the story of its creator. His unique bread recipe, perfected over two decades of learning from the finest artisan bakers in France and the US and countless hours of experimentation in his own ovens, is a testament to this belief. Readers will be amazed at its simplicity.
Over a hundred photos from years of meticulous testing, instructing, and recipe development offer step-by-step guidance, while additional recipes inspire creative uses for every delicious leftover. This book is more than a recipe collection; it’s a bread baker’s manual.
At its core, the book offers a master formula for basic bread with numerous variations, supplemented by chapters on yeasted breads and recipes for sweet and savoury dishes that make the most of stale bread. Chad’s deep understanding of breadmaking, gleaned from collaborations with top artisanal bakers in the US and France, as well as his baking philosophy, are standout features of this book. This is not just a recipe book, but a journey into the heart of breadmaking.
