Synopsis

THE COMPLETE BREAD BOOK is more than a recipe book. It traces the history of bread throughout the world from the New Stone Age to the present day. Bread for Beginners includes a description of the various ingredients and the parts they play in the breadmaking process, a step-by-step guide to preparing, rising and glazing dough and a useful table outlining common problems and how to avoid them. There are recipes for basic bread doughs such as plain white, wholewheat, sweet and rich milk breads and a chapter on many interesting variations to these doughs. There is a complete section on traditional breads, buns and cakes from the British Isles and an exciting and unusual collection of breads from countries as diverse as Morocco and the Ukraine. Quick-to-make recipes for teabreads have been included which do not need yeast, and ones for special diet and health breads, such as gluten-free, high-protein and soybean. Freezer owners have not been forgotten. Information in chart form is given on how-to-wrap unbaked and baked doughs for freezing, recommended storage times, thawing instructions and helpful tips. Many mouth-watering color pictures, attractive illustrations and clearly set out recipes make this book one which all readers will find an invaluable addition to their kitchen library.
