About this ebook

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The definitive cookbook on bread baking, Beard on Bread contains 100 recipes and variations for making delicious, fresh bread at home—by one of the most influential cookery teachers of the twentieth century.

Covering breads from Sourdough to Challah, Brioche to fruits breads, and Parker House Rolls to Buttermilk White Bread, this classic cookbook brings together simple, easy-to-make recipes from across America and around the world. Written by culinary icon James Beard—the “Dean of American Gastronomy”—and featuring a wonderful variety of different types of bread—plain, whole-meal, and sweetened breads, batter breads, baking powder and soda breads, rolls, flat breads, filled breads, fried breads, and more—as well as a 12-point list of remedies to help you bake a better loaf, this is the only book home bakers need in order to master the art of making bread.

I have had this paperback since I was a child. Most of the recipies are foolproof and Beard is really good about telling you when they're not. The Saffron Bread on page 55 is heavenly.
