 Actual Breads just ok September 24, 2008

It would be nice if there were some points on what to do next time if your bread doesn't turn out as planned. All of my breads turned out much heavier than illustrated in diagrams. My Italian & Ciabatta breads were better but nothing like shown in the pictures (Those use 100% bread flour). The Ciabatta bread did not require a window pane test so I was hoping that would come out better, in case I wasn't really passing it, even though I thought I was.
The Lavash Crackers show different shades and textures. Mind came kind of the same except were the thinner parts were somewhat over done. In general it was too thick, bread like. I thought I rolled it out to more than 15" x 12" he called for but adjusted for the fact I held back more than half to try to make a pita, not sure what he mean't by "paper thin".
It is inspirational, if only my breads actually turned out better. I have cooked for awhile, but this is my first attempt at bread.
 I like September 21, 2008

I like the book, it's different than any other bread book I have and now merging recipes from other bread baking books and this one, its helps shake things up a bit. My only complaint is some of the measures are still in volume and not weights. How much does 1 TSP weigh? If I'm going to weigh the flour I should also weigh the yeast.
Over all I LIKE this book.
I love bread... I love this book! September 18, 2008

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R37TRHHFRAIOYO Peter Reinhart's tome on baking bread is must for anyone looking to explore this kitchen subject. Filled with tips, and the tools to problem solve even the most disastrous loaves.
No one will read this review anyway September 7, 2008

I doubt anyone will read this review, but this book is great. Buy it if you want to know about baking high quality breads.
The only thing I'd like to see in it would be more information on technique. For example, the correct way to kneed or other "assumed" skills.
Good book-- August 25, 2008
