I predict immense well-deserved success for this extraordinary book." -Carol Field, author of The Italian Baker "As we continue our bread-making journey into the 21st century, Peter Reinhart's The Bread Baker's Apprentice should emerge as the definitive text on the subject. There is simply no other work where a student, and for that matter, many seasoned bakers, can turn to understand how the magic of great bread baking works." -Charles Van Over, author of The Best Bread Ever "Peter has yet again woven a fine tale about great bread, and his passion abounds. In The Bread Baker's Apprentice , he delivers a tool box of information and insight-tools that empower us to roll up our sleeves and keep those ovens full!" -Peter Franklin, Chairman of the Board, The Bread Bakers Guild of America "This remarkable book is written and designed to bridge the information gap between professional artisan baking and simpler home baking. The tricks, the tips, the checklists, the math, the lingo, the path to perfect fermentation, are all here at my fingertips." -Beth Hensperger, author of Bread Made Easy "If you are a serious home baker and wish to raise your level of baking several notches, then apprentice yourself to master bread baker Peter Reinhart in his new cookbook, The Bread Baker's Apprentice .

SynopsisCo-founder of the legendary Brother Juniper's Bakery, author of the landmark books Brother Juniper's Bread Book and Crust & Crumb , and distinguished instructor at the world's largest culinary academy, Peter Reinhart has been a leader in America's artisanal bread movement for over fifteen years. Never one to be content with yesterday's baking triumph, however, Peter continues to refine his recipes and techniques in his never-ending quest for extraordinary bread. In The Bread Baker's Apprentice , Peter shares his latest bread breakthroughs, arising from his study in several of France's famed boulangeries and the always-enlightening time spent in the culinary academy kitchen with his students. Peer over Peter's shoulder as he learns from Paris's most esteemed bakers, like Lionel Poilane and Phillippe Gosselin, whose pain a l'ancienne has revolutionized the art of baguette making. Then stand alongside his students in the kitchen as Peter teaches the classic twelve stages of building bread, his clear instructions accompanied by over 100 step-by-step photographs. You'll put newfound knowledge into practice with 50 new master formulas for such classic breads as rustic ciabatta , hearty pain de campagne , old-school New York bagels, and the book's Holy Grail-Peter's version of the famed pain a l'ancienne . En route, Peter distills hard science, advanced techniques, and food history into a remarkably accessible and engaging resource that is as rich and multitextured as the loaves you'll turn out. This is original food writing at its most captivating, teaching at its most inspired and inspiring-and the rewards are some of the best breads under the sun. -- Food52, Most Anticipated Cookbooks -- Every Day with Rachael Ray, Round-Up, Co-founder of the legendary Brother Juniper's Bakery, author of the landmark books Brother Juniper's Bread Book and Crust & Crumb, and distinguished instructor at the world's largest culinary academy, Peter Reinhart has been a leader in America's artisanal bread movement for over fifteen years.

Bake the very best bread at home
I got this book on recommendation from a friend who went to culinary baking school who told me this was their text book for baking. Which actually intimidated me. I haven't gone to baking school, and I'm not a whiz in the kitchen. I can make great food if I follow a great recipe though--and that's what this is. Amazing. I now make free form loaf multigrain bread weekly for my family and have tried several of the other recipes. They've all turned out delicious. I've had a couple of fails--which were user error (trying to substitute to make up for something i didn't have on hand or not kneading enough). I highly recommend this if you want to try to achieve bakery quality breads at home.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

The best bread making book I have purchased.
I have purchased quite a few books on how to make bread this year and this is THE BEST of all of them. The easy to comprehend info along with step by step instructions are great. But what this book has more of than any other book I bought is LOTS of photographs to show you HOW to do it. Making bread at home is a very hands on process, and this book helped me tremendously.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best bread baking book
Lots of good education here. I actually read the book. It explains a lot. I had a copy I loaned out and didn’t get back so I bought another one. My husband is now the bread maker. He was the bread winner but he retired. So…Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
