Acclaimed professional baker Suzanne Dunaway reveals her truly revolutionary technique for baking unforgettable breads that require no fuss and no special equipment.

You will find focaccia, ciabatta, pane rustico, and pizza as well as breads from around the world such as baguette, sourdough flapjacks, blini, muffins, corn bread, brioche, African Spiced bread, kulich, and kolaches. In addition many of the basic bread doughs are fat-free, sugar-free, and dairy-free making then perfect for people on strict dietary or allergy regimes. There are also dozens of recipes for dishes you can make with bread: soufflés, soups, salads, and even desserts such as chocolate bread pudding. Plus, fun recipes to make with children. Suzanne Dunaway was the owner and head baker of Buona Forchetta Handmade Breads in Los Angeles, hailed as one of the seven best bakeries in the world by W Magazine. Gourmet called her breads “addictive.” “If kneading makes you need a sit down and need a rest, then this book will encourage you back into the kitchen. A great bread making class for all of us lazy bread makers.” —Foodepedia “Fabulous.” —The Telegraph

Bread Toast Crumbs
Author: Alexandra Stafford
Publisher: Clarkson Potter
ISBN: 0553459848
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
With praise from Dorie Greenspan, Jim Lahey, and David Lebovitz, the definitive bread-baking book for a new generation. But this book isn’t just about baking bread-- it’s about what to do with the slices and heels and nubs from those many loaves you’ll bake. Alexandra Stafford grew up eating her mother’s peasant bread at nearly every meal—the recipe for which was a closely-guarded family secret. When her blog, Alexandra’s Kitchen, began to grow in popularity, readers started asking how to make the bread they’d heard so much about; the bread they had seen peeking into photos. Finally, Alexandra’s mother relented, and the recipe went up on the internet. It has since inspired many who had deemed bread-baking an impossibility to give it a try, and their results have exceeded expectations. The secret is in its simplicity: the no-knead dough comes together in fewer than five minutes, rises in an hour, and after a second short rise, bakes in buttered bowls. After you master the famous peasant bread, you’ll work your way through its many variations, both in flavor (Cornmeal, Jalapeno, and Jack; Three Seed) and form (Cranberry Walnut Dinner Rolls; Cinnamon Sugar Monkey Bread). You’ll enjoy bread’s usual utilities with Food Cart Grilled Cheese and the Summer Tartine with Burrata and Avocado, but then you’ll discover its true versatility when you use it to sop up Mussels with Shallot and White Wine or juicy Roast Chicken Legs. Finally, you’ll find ways to savor every last bite, from Panzanella Salad Three Ways to Roasted Tomato Soup to No-Bake Chocolate-Coconut Cookies. Bread, Toast, Crumbs is a 2018 nominee for The IACP Julia Child First Book Award, and Alexandra's Kitchen was a finalist for the Saveur Blog Awards Most Inspired Weeknight Dinners 2016

Book Description
This is the ideal bread cookbook for the newbie... the first timer... the future baker... because I will show you how to make bread in a glass bowl with a spoon... without dusting the counter with flour or touching the dough with your hands. It's called the "hands-free technique". It uses the principles of a bread machine... without the bread machine.There are three basic methods for making bread... - Knead by hand... the most common method.- Bread machine... very popular, but your loaf will have a silly little paddle in the bottom.- No-knead... a method in which Mother Nature does the kneading for you.This cookbook uses the "no-knead" method. The advantages are... - No kneading... Mother Nature does the kneading for you.- No yeast proofing... instant yeast doesn't require proofing.- No special equipment (no mixer, no bread machine)... entire process is done in a glass bowl with a spoon and spatula, and can be baked in a wide variety of baking vessels (bread pan, uncovered baker, skillet, preheated Dutch oven, etc.).- Only 4 ingredients (flour, salt, yeast and water)... to which other ingredients can be added to make a variety of specialty breads.There are two methods for making no-knead bread...- Traditional... proofs for 8 to 24 hours.- "Turbo"... ready to bake in 2-1/2 hours.This cookbook will start by teaching you how to make no-knead bread using the traditional method, then "Turbo" method, because the traditional method is more popular and a little easier.No-knead bread can be bake in a variety of baking vessels...- Bread pan... the #1 baking vessel for bread- Dutch oven... ideal for baking a round loaf (boule)- Long covered baker... ideal for baking half loaves and long loaves.- Poor man's Dutch oven... combines the ease of baking in a bread pan with the principles of baking in a Dutch oven.This cookbook starts by showing you how to bake no-knead bread in a bread pan... it's easy and safer than working with a hot Dutch oven. Then we will expand our use of baking vessels to include the Dutch oven, covered baker, and "poor man's Dutch oven" (PMDO).And we won't stop there. This cookbook will also show you how to make rolls, pizza, and pretzels..- Rolls... you'll learn how to use bakeware to shape the rolls for you.- Pizza... you'll learn how to make you own pizza dough.- Pretzels... add one step to the process and you'll have pretzels.What makes this cookbook different from others is... - "Hands-free technique"... a new and innovative technique that uses the handle end of a plastic spoon to manipulate the dough (like a dough hook) after which the dough goes straight from the mixing bowl to the baking vessel (bread pan, etc.) without dusting the work surface with flour or touching the dough with your hands.- "Roll-to-coat"... an innovative technique that coats the dough ball with flour in the mixing bowl. No more sticky dough. When the dough comes out of the bowl it will be easy to handle if you wish to divide the dough into portion to make baguettes, rolls, etc.- "Poor man's Dutch oven"... new and innovative technique which combines the ease of baking in a bread pan with the principles of baking in a Dutch oven.The cookbook also includes sections that will help you understand ingredients, technique, and bakeware.In others words, I start with the simplest recipe, then add one technique or method until you're a master baker. Step by step, this cookbook will take you on a journey you will love and enjoy.Thanks - Steve
