Liz Crain: Conquer Your Fermentation Fears! (0 comment)
For years, my late dog Rubin, a.k.a White Wolf, (a big fluffy Alaskan Malamute/German Shepherd), was terrified of stairs, bridges, and jumping on or off of just about anything elevated. I first found this out when he was just a few months old and we were on a road trip to Northern California. At the base of some outdoor, pool-side motel stairs...

and#160;

and#8220;The supremely technical bread book of the year is The Fundamental Techniques of Classic Bread Baking by Judith Choate and the breadologists at the French Culinary Institute. . . . No doubt one could learn much about the art of dough from cooking their way through it. But also, holy bread porn!and#8221; and#8212;Eater.comand#160;

and#8220;There are other bread books, some very good ones. But The French Culinary Instituteand#8217;s The Fundamental Techniques of Classic Bread Baking is in a class of its own. The instructions are clear, the photography is wonderful, and recipes for virtually every classic bread are included. The bookand#8217;s greatest virtue is its sensible organization, which makes it perfect for the self-teacher.and#8221;and#160;

and#8220;To make a perfect loaf of bread, the baker needs just five essential ingredients: flour, water, salt, yeastand#8212;and this indispensable book!and#8221;

and#8212;Iacopo Falai, Owner of Falai, Caffe Falai, and Falai Panetteria

and#160;

and#8220;The Fundamental Techniques of Classic Bread Baking is an essential reference book for every bread baker, from novice to seasoned professional.

Review

"A quotation that I apparently utter with the repetitiveness of a mantra is Escoffier's declaration that 'The art of cookery is the constant expression of the present.' Trust Rose to understand this fully, as she uninterruptedly demonstrates with constant pitch-perfect responses to the craving for technical know-how of today's younger generations." Michael Batterberry, founding editor of Food Arts and Food & Wine magazines, from the foreword to The Bread Bible

Review

"Rose, of course, is the reigning Goddess with regards to the definitive word on all things pertaining to pastries and cakes. But now she has decided to clear away all misunderstandings by giving us The Bread Bible. My question is, 'When are we going to have a 'Rose Levy Beranbaum National Holiday?'" Charlie Trotter

Review

"Every book by Rose Levy Beranbaum is a highly anticipated event but this one is particularly close to my heart. The Bread Bible brings together an amazing amount of useful information with many many great and trustworthy recipes — you can always count on a recipe by Rose, and her attention to every detail. For a baker like me, this book is heavenly, just as the title promises." Peter Reinhart, author of The Bread Baker's Apprentice

Review

"Rose will not only walk you through a recipe, she will hold your hand all the way. She is the ultimate perfectionist and we readers are the beneficiaries. We can always count on her to create recipes that not only work flawlessly, but taste out of this world. Way to go, Rose!" Maggie Glezer, author of Artisan Baking Across America

Review

"The world of bread baking has been a secret society for 5000 years. Not any more. This book explains bread in all its historical, gastronomic, chewy, crusty, glorious detail. Of course, it took Rose to do it. This is the bread book." Bill Yosses, pastry chef, New York City

Synopsis

Prairie Home Breads proves that not only is the Midwest where Americaand#8217;s grains are grown, but itand#8217;s also where the art of bread baking is taken seriously.

To create these 150 recipes, Judith M. Fertig visited artisanal bakeries, working farmhouse kitchens, rural church suppers, urban bakeries, farmerand#8217;s markets, and typical home kitchens. She found yeast breads as varied as Amish Pinwheel Bread and Roasted Sweet Pepper Bread, as well as naturally leavened breads like Brewhouse Bread and whole grain breads like Northern Prairie Barley Bread. There are also buns and rolls, as well as quick biscuits, popovers, and crackers. Along with elegant tea breads and homey muffins there are scrumptious coffeecakes, kuchens, and strudels. Last but not least, there are recipes for accompaniments and for using up leftovers.

Prairie Home Breads is also filled with rich stories of ethnic and regional culture, agriculture, Midwestern culinary traditions, and warm celebrations of Heartland food.

each recipe i've tried so far in this book is perfection. On top of having extensive and very helpful directions, Rose Beranbaum explains even more about the back round of baking. Measurements in both cups & ounces makes for an always accurate finished product. My favorite for the moment are the butter biscuits, which use cooked egg yolk, but make for thick but airy biscuit. Countless more bread and other recipes it is indeed like the title suggests, a book worth worshiping.
