About this title

About the Author

Emily Jane Buehler received her PhD in chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2001. She began baking bread at Weaver Street Market, a cooperative natural foods store. She worked there as a baker for six years. In 2002, she began teaching bread-making classes and hosting a monthly "Community Oven Night." Her interactions with the bread-making public led to the desire to write this book.

Emily lives in Hillsborough, North Carolina. She works as a freelance editor and is currently writing women's fiction and enjoying life as a home baker. While she no longer bakes professionally, she continues to teach bread-making classes.
