Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day

Description

The renowned baking instructor distills professional techniques down to the
basics, delivering artisan bread recipes that anyone with flour and a fridge
can bake with ease. Reinhart begins with the simplest French bread, then moves
on to familiar classics such as ciabatta, pizza dough, and soft sandwich
loaves, and concludes with fresh specialty items like pretzels, crackers,
croissants, and bagels. Each recipe is broken into “Do Ahead” and “On Baking
Day” sections, making every step—from preparation through pulling pans from
the oven—a breeze, whether you bought your loaf pan yesterday or decades ago.
These doughs are engineered to work flawlessly for busy home bakers: most
require only a straightforward mixing and overnight fermentation. The result
is reliably superior flavor and texture on par with loaves from world-class
artisan bakeries, all with little hands-on time. America’s favorite baking
instructor and innovator Peter Reinhart offers time-saving techniques
accompanied by full-color, step-by-step photos throughout so that in no time
you’ll be producing fresh batches of Sourdough Baguettes, 50% and 100% Whole
Wheat Sandwich Loaves, Soft and Crusty Cheese Bread, English Muffins, Cinnamon
Buns, Panettone, Hoagie Rolls, Chocolate Cinnamon Babka, Fruit-Filled
Thumbprint Rolls, Danish, and Best-Ever Biscuits. Best of all, these high-
caliber doughs improve with a longer stay in the fridge, so you can mix once,
then portion, proof, and bake whenever you feel like enjoying a piping hot
treat. Read more
