 All I do is bake bread now. December 30, 2007

This book is excellent. Well written, and goes in to plenty of detail about what you really need to know to bake good, tasty bread.
The recipes are excellent as well. Easy to follow, and with great results.
Anyone interested in baking their own bread should pick up this book.
a pleasure to read, though overwhelmingly precise December 19, 2007

I've had great success making the Hearth Breads in this book using my stand mixer. But some of the recipes are extremely complicated and recommend using specialized kitchen equipment or ingredients, dissuading me from trying to make the sourdough bread, for example. Many of the recipes take 1/2 day to several days, start to finish. This book is not for the casual cook, but offers many delicious-sounding breads for an adventurous baker with lots of free time.

I know I loved my Cake Bible, by Rose Lavy Beranbaum, but I think I have a new favorite, The Bread Bible. It is such a well balanced book of amazing recipes and informative and entertaining ancedotes. I could imagine the smell of the bread baking. Including the information about how we could get the supplies and equipment was an added bonus. It is wonderful book to read and savour.
The BEST book on bread! September 12, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Rose Levy Beranbaum has done a magnificent job with this book. Her instructions for each loaf are perfectly detailed, and I've yet to have one of her recipes fail. Some here have faulted her recipes for being repetitive in their details. However, I see this as a positive. I would rather not have to flip to five different parts of a book in order to make a loaf of bread. Provided that repeating a part of the instructions doesn't take up large amounts of space, it's worthwhile. I also really appreciate the introductory descriptions and stories she writes for the various breads. They really get you excited about making the various loaves of bread. You have to try making the pita bread, as watching them puff up in your oven is amazing. Her pizza crust is also the best I've made. Oh, and if you try the rosemary foccaccia, be patient, and magic will happen! At just over 20 minutes in the mixer, a wonderful dough ball will form. I suggest you watch the process, as you can see the gluten forming before your eyes. I can't recommend this book highly enough, and if you've ever got questions, check out her blog, Real Baking with Rose, where she answers reader questions all the time!

...and although he's an accomplished cook already, the recipes are easy to follow, with perfect results.
