One Dough, Ten Breads: Making Great Bread by Hand
by Sarah Black
What's inside: According to baking instructor Sarah Black, simply "getting your hands in the dough" is the best place for aspiring bread-bakers to start. Beginning with just one dough -- a basic white loaf -- Black goes on to show you how that dough can be modified into ten different breads by using different flours, flavors, and techniques. Black's richly detailed instructions provide steady guidance for your actions while also helping you tune your senses to the look, feel, and smell of bread-making. With its emphasis on learning by doing, this photo-illustrated volume is "the closest a book can get to a hands-on course in the art of bread" (Booklist).
