24 Bread Winners Too Mel London
A bread book that makes for entertaining reading, along with many good
recipes. Bread Winners Too is actually by a lot of people. There are 50
featured bread bakers, with their favorite recipes. Each baker (most if
not all of whom are not professional cooks) gets a brief biography and then
the recipes they contributed to the book. It is interesting to read the
many techniques people use when baking bread. I think it shows that yeast
isn't nearly as picky about things as some books would have you believe.
There is an introductory section about baking bread, on various flours, and
on other additions you can make to the bread. Then a brief section on
utensils, some non-rules of baking like 'remember that recipe amounts are
approximate and should be used as a preliminary guide. Flour measurements
will vary upon weather, altitude, type and leavener.' Another short
section on general rules for baking bread, such as mixing, kneading and
rising the dough. And then a vast array of breads.
