## Description

In this comprehensive cookbook, America's Test Kitchen breaks down the often intimidating art and science of bread baking, making it easy for anyone to create foolproof, bakery-quality breads at home. Many home cooks find bread baking rewarding but intimidating. In Bread Illustrated, America's Test Kitchen shows bakers of all levels how to make foolproof breads, rolls, flatbreads, and more at home. Each master recipe is presented as a hands-on and reassuring tutorial illustrated with six to 16 full-color step-by-step photos. Organized by level of difficulty to make bread baking less daunting, the book progresses from the simplest recipes for the novice baker to artisan-style loaves, breads that use starters, and more complex project recipes. The recipes cover a wide and exciting range of breads from basics and classics like Easy Sandwich Bread and Fluffy Dinner Rolls to interesting breads from around the world including Lahmacun, Panettone, and Fig and Fennel Bread.

Review: Such an amazing book!!! - I have several different cookbooks and baking books in my library. They all have different things that I like about them, but I have to say that Bread Illustrated is definitely my favorite of them all. America's Test Kitchen has an amazing collection of recipes. While I don't know much about their magazines, TV show, and websites, their cookbooks and recipes are all absolutely amazing! I have had amazing success with all the recipes from this book I have tried so far. Many reviews mentioned the color of the lettering was difficult to read. I considered this fact before buying the book, but decided to buy the book anyway. I am so glad I did! It has caused me no problems whatsoever. I have found all of the lettering very easy to read. Furthermore, other reviewers have mentioned how this book is difficult to use. Because each recipe takes up several pages, some have said it is bothersome to flip back and forth between pages while baking. While I believe it would be easier if each recipe only took up a page, all of the extra content makes it well worth it. Each recipe includes a full sized photo of the finished product. Each recipe also includes an in-depth, very detailed section about what went into making the recipe, why it works, and what all of the steps and ingredients do for the recipe. Each step in the recipe also includes a picture. The pictures showing each step are really helpful, especially for beginners, in showing exactly what you are to do. This extra content is so helpful in showing what you are to be doing for each recipe. All of the instructions are clearly laid out. This book is an amazing one for beginners. It over lots of helpful hints and simple recipes to get you started. It is a great resource for intermediates and even experts as well. There are many higher level recipes included as well. The first chapter is a great place to start. There are many quick bread recipes, like corn bread, tortillas, and quick cheese bread. The first also has several easier level recipes or shortcuts to making things that are more complicated. Other chapters in the book include recipes for sandwich breads, pizza and flatbreads, sweet/enriched breads, sponge breads, and more. The last chapter in the book is great if you are looking for something harder. It includes details on how to make your own sourdough starter, bagels, baguettes, fougasse, and pain d'epi. There is really something for everyone in this book, and America's Test Kitchen really scales it down, making it simple and easy to understand. As I have mentioned, all the recipes I have made so far have turned out amazing. I have made pizza, pitas, soft pretzels, ciabatta, and so much more. I have made the homemade flour tortillas (only four ingredients!) several times so far. My family loves them and we have deemed them much better than the store. In fact, we have part of a batch in the fridge right now. I hope to make the yeasted doughnuts and pane francese soon as well. Pictured above are English muffins, challah, whole wheat quinoa bread, ciabatta, American sandwich bread, focaccia, Chicago style deep dish pizza, and bagels. Everything has turned out so good. The recipes in this book can really help guide you in proper bread baking techniques and taking your skill to the next level. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has even the slightest interest in baking!
Review: Fantastic illustrations and instructions - This is a fantastic book. I knew it would be, America's Test Kitchen always has good books full of hints and tips that make life easier. There is everything from sourdough to quick breads in this book. Illustrations that are helpful and explain what is being described makes it easy for novice and expert cooks to follow along. I am very glad I made the decision was made to purchase this book. It is a welcome addition to the cookbooks I term "keepers". This book is perfect for people who are learning how to bake bread. It discusses various ways to knead bread, depending on the type you are baking. It talks about tools that are useful and ones that are "must haves". It talks about substitutes and ways to fix problems. There are lots and lots of pictures to show what they mean so if you are visual learner, you are covered. Beyond this, there are recipes, lots and lots of recipes for bread of all types. You are sure to find what you are seeking in this book, be it a quick bread that you need or a fancy bread for a dinner party. Everything is explained, so novice cooks are not left guessing what is meant. Experienced cooks will likely learn something as well, I know that I did! From the moment I heard this book was hitting the shelves, I was pacing. Bread is a weekly thing at our house. Sometimes sourdough, sometimes yeast, often both on the same day. Bread baking has become a ritualistic type of thing that is a way to relax and make the house smell divine. Yes, even in the depths of summer, when the mercury rose to 100*, there was rising bread. Tweaked recipes and new techniques are tried, some flop, some exceed expectations, and this book is helping to make the ritual even more fun.
