Baking Bread Dough

Review

I got this book for my birthday and thought, “Oh, well, a cookbook for the coffee table.” After a couple of weeks, however, I started to skim through it out of boredom. I could not put it down. The recipes themselves are enough to make this a book well worth having (although they are somewhat complicated and can be intimidating for the beginning bread baker) but the photographs are mouth-watering as well. And the text that accompanies each section of the book, both in the introductions to the seasons and the introductions to each recipe, are essays unto themselves, worthy of note. If the passing of the seasons has meaning for you, for whatever reason, and you like to bake or just eat bread, you NEED this cookbook
