comes this must-have baking guide, featuring recipes for world-class breads
and pizzas and a variety of schedules suited for the home baker. There are few
things more satisfying than biting into a freshly made, crispy-on-the-outside,
soft-and-supple-on-the-inside slice of perfectly baked bread. For Portland-
based baker Ken Forkish, well-made bread is more than just a pleasure—it is a
passion that has led him to create some of the best and most critically lauded
breads and pizzas in the country. In Flour Water Salt Yeast, Forkish
translates his obsessively honed craft into scores of recipes for rustic
boules and Neapolitan-style pizzas, all suited for the home baker. Forkish
developed and tested all of the recipes in his home oven, and his impeccable

dough and have fresh bread ready by supper time, or explore pre-ferments with
a bread that uses biga or poolish. If you’re ready to take your baking to the
next level, follow Forkish’s step-by-step guide to making a levain starter
with only flour and water, and be amazed by the delicious complexity of your
naturally leavened bread. Pizza lovers can experiment with a variety of doughs
and sauces to create the perfect pie using either a pizza stone or a cast-iron
skillet. Flour Water Salt Yeast is more than just a collection of recipes for
amazing bread and pizza—it offers a complete baking education, with a thorough
yet accessible explanation of the tools and techniques that set artisan bread
apart. Featuring a tutorial on baker’s percentages, advice for manipulating
