Bread, Jeffery Hammelman
There are lots of good books available on bread recipes, but few that really expound on the actual technique of making good bread. Considering the basic elements of bread are just flour, water, yeast, and salt, one must know how to manipulate these otherwise bland components into a flavorful outcome. Jeffery Hammelman’s BREAD is as comprehensive as one will ever need, for both professional and home baker. He breaks the bread making process into 12 distinct steps, explaining each in detail. He teaches the essential baker’s percentage, in which all ingredients are measured by weight rather than volume.
