Book description
The Handmade Loaf is a collection of recipes, personal stories and
photographs that capture the breads and home bakers of Europe. Over 80
recipes, many of which are inspired by the bakers profiled, look
afresh at traditional methods and ingredients. Their blend of history
and innovation will appeal to the experienced baker, but also to a
generation ready to discover the simple pleasure of baking their first
crisp loaf at home. Shot in real time, with bakers caught on film as
the dough is mixed and the bread taken freshly from the oven, the
photographs place the reader right beside the baker, showing the
detail to help us understand perfectly how breads are created.
“As fresh and as mouth-watering as a loaf straight from the oven… the
author's own step-by-step photographs are genuinely educational.”
