    4.0 out of 5 stars Baking your first loaf?
    Reviewed in Canada on August 11, 2012
    step 13: Congratulations you've baked your first loaf!
    Well not exactly, I have several books on bread baking and this is the first time I have produced home made 'Artisan bread' successfully.
    Thanks to the tricks and not so secret secrets of professional bakers I found that the most valuable part of this book was the steam and humidity required to produce an excellent crust. Having moved continents and now living at a higher altitude Matt described how to get around my previous frustrations on not so good bread baking.
    The clear guide to measurements and equations means that any home baker can adjust quantities to suit their needs.
    I did however find the steps in getting the end result time consuming and somewhat drawn out but the end result was one of the best home produced loaves to date.
    I will certainly continue to use most of the methods but maybe play around with times as it literally took a whole day to make one loaf, as much as I love baking, who has the time to spend the hours preparing, and then having to wait up to 3 hours after removing the loaf from the oven before eating it?
    I do however recommend this book and was glad I stumbled across it in the library, I will be purchasing my own copy shortly.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a bread book that gives you all the information, with pictures, other books assume you know & often don't.

    I have found after 40 yrs. as a home cook I have often given up because I'm not sure if I am doing the right technique or using the right equipment or the right ingredients. With this book I had no doubt about any of these. I loved all the pictures. And I loved all the breads even more. Each one loooks different, feels different and tastes different. I have become addicted to these breads and you will too.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing...
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    The book promissed a lot and delivered a little. The author could have used tenth of the text pages to cover what he was talking about - it is far too winded, the directions should have been short and to the point (if the author's initial promises were to be kept), instead of woffling on about irrelevant details, thus losing the reader at the very start. The letters are far too big, the book design is of filler type (make everything big so that there are more pages printed), the pictures are off colour and of amater-like quality, all of this giving the whole book impression of a rushed job. I give it one star for the good original concept and promise.

    Simple, easy and quite tasty recipes for making all sorts of bread. I started baking bread during the pandemic and well, I don't buy any more store-bought bread.
