Best Bread Making Kit for Home Bakers - Complete Baking Tools Set with Recipe Book | Perfect for Artisan Sourdough, Whole Grain & French Bread | Ideal Gift for Baking Enthusiasts

This is best book about bread I've read. By now we know (based on some of the complaints), that this is not a recipe book, it's a book about bread with some recipes...Maybe you have to be crazy about bread to really enjoy Fromartz' writing. He certainly is. I probably have more pictures of breads fresh out of the oven on my phone than pictures of my family, so I qualify as well.So, it it's not about recipes, what is this book about? It's about the process of becoming an expert in something. Yes, it's about baking the "perfect loaf", but at the end, it's a process that can be applied to many other areas as well. You don't just pick a recipe from a book of recipes, and bake it once and expect to hold that perfect load in your hands. That's not how things work. You do the same thing over and over and over again, until it becomes second nature, and then you try to make small adjustments, learn more about the ingredients and the process, talk to and learn from other experts, and refine your technique. What we witness in this book is Fromartz' journey from somebody who has baked a lot of bread to somebody with a much better understanding of every single aspect of the topic 'bread'.Coming around to the recipes in the book: They are mile posts for this journey, and not the primary reason why you should buy this book. Enjoy the stories, learn some new tidbits about grain, flour and bread, and then bake a bread or two from the book ten or twenty times to walk a bit next to Fromartz on that journey. Even though the recipes are not the most important content of the book, they are excellent. I was able to probably make the best bread I've ever made based on his baguette recipe.If you enjoy bread, read the book.
