  • inspiring.

    Ken Forkish goes into all the fine detail about bread making allowing you to keep to the detail while doing your own thing without getting lost. Its a great book written very well for people like me who finds difficulty with too much precision. Reading the book is inspiring and encourages you to get going with your bread making. Its just fantastic.

  • Follow the instructions, eat exceptional bread

    I don't usually review things ever, but this book was amazing. Clear straight forward instructions and the results are sublime, professional grade bread on the first attempt. The production and editing in some places are quite unfortunate, weird boxes to highlight information that interupt the flow of the instructions and leave you flipping between pages to align pictures with explanation. The sample baking schedules are inspired and allow you to plan ahead easily I went straight for the white bread with 80% poolish and to date it is the best recipe I have completed from the book. The crust flavour is another level. I am yet to try the sourdoughs but am sure they would be phenomenal. I ignored much of the extra contextual fluff about the bakery but I am sure some would find it interesting. The only bits you really need are the basic instructions and. The recipes.

    I have read the first few chapters and begin to realise how much more I need to know. I’m not sure if I can manage to become competent enough to bake bread as well as I would like. Sourdough baking is tough when getting the starter strong enough is difficult! The book is in good condition and I like the layout but I have several hours of reading to go yet.

  • Great book - Recommended and reliable.

    Done every brea recipe from this book. Turned around my sourdough making from average to brilliant. The whole method is written out for every recipe - whereas other similar books keep referring you back to a generic page of whichever stage you are at. Also very useful to know was that cold dough handles much easier than warm dough. Which I suppose is obvious really.

  • Action packed!!

    I wasn't ready for the action packed whirlwind adventure that awaited me in this page turner. Trainee pharmacist Larson Pierson returns as the main protagonist to uncover another 2000 year old plot that's set to destroy the Catholic Church's authority overnight. Larson must dispense the truth but at what cost? A highly anticipated sequal to Flour Milk Yeast Salt with conspiracy and treachery that puts Dan Brown (the charlatan) to shame. Read this it will change you.

  • Flour Water Salt Yeast

    The final result is excellent. The instructions can be confusing at times. Not a book for a novice baker but once you get your head around it, the challenge is well worth it.
