Book SynopsisBest-selling cookbook New World Sourdough offers an inviting, nontraditional approach to baking delicious, inventive sourdough breads at home. Learn how to make a sourdough starter, basic breads, as well as other innovative baked goods from start to finish with Bryan Ford, Instagram star (@artisanbryan) and host of The Artisan’s Kitchen on Chip and Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia Network. With less emphasis on perfecting crumb structure or obsessive temperature monitoring, Bryan focuses on the tips and techniques he’s developed in his own practice, inspired by his Honduran roots and New Orleans upbringing, to ensure your success and a good return on your time and effort. Bryan’s recipes include step-by-step instructions and photographs of all of the mixing, shaping, and baking techniques you’ll need to know, with special attention paid to developing flavor as well as your own instincts. New World Sourdough offers practical, accessible techniques and enticing, creative recipes you’ll want to return to again and again, like: Pan de Coco Ciabatta Pretzel Buns Challah Focaccia Pizza dough Cuban Muffins Pita Bread Flour Tortillas Queen Cake Straightforward and unintimidating, New World Sourdough will get you started with your starter and then inspire you to keep experimenting and expanding your repertoire.Trade Review“Ford’s cookbook, New World Sourdough, is full of deep expertise that answers many of these questions, but it’s also an unusually warm, friendly invitation to making sourdough bread, a subgenre of the baking world that isn’t known for being so inclusive and approachable.” * The New York Times Magazine *“With his book, Ford sets out to clear up the notion that sourdough means the overly engineered Tartine loaf. It can be that. But it can also be any naturally leavened bread, like pan de coco baked in Honduras with naturally occurring yeasts.” * Epicurious *“New World Sourdough is Ford’s exploration of making breads from North, Central, and South America with natural fermentation, but it’s also an opening volley against a stale idea of what artisan bread should be.” * Food & Wine *“If you've thought about baking your own sourdough, New World Sourdough by Bryan Ford is here to simplify the process. With practical tips and techniques, you will feel empowered and excited to dive into the wide variety of baked goods, from warm pita to sweet brioche.” * POPSUGAR *“Since they couldn’t break bread with friends during a pandemic, enthusiastic home bakers everywhere turned to making their own. Bryan Ford’s blog Artisan Bryan and his New World Sourdough cookbook became the go-to guides. The perfect recipe? Flour, warm water and patience.” * People *“His recipes are refreshingly straightforward—eschewing complicated jargon for easy-to-follow instructions—and once you’ve mastered the simplest of breads, you can level up to breads you may have previously thought were not possible to make at home.” * Chowhound *“‘The ease of bread baking seems to be a sudden revelation, but people have been baking bread for thousands of years,’ says baker Bryan Ford, author of New World Sourdough. ‘When a crisis sets in, we resort to our primal instincts which involve making our own food. My blog traffic is through the roof.’” * Forbes *“New World Sourdough honors Ford’s Central American roots with sourdough-based recipes for semitas de yema, pan de coco and flour tortillas made with coconut milk.” * Huffington Post *“Ripping sourdough in half is an apt metaphor for what Ford has accomplished with his first cookbook—refusing the tidy cross section dismantles the idea that all bread should have the same polished aesthetic qualities and be perfectly curated for Instagram. But maybe a better way of putting it would be to say that Ford’s New World Sourdough is taking the concept of sourdough and burning it all down.” * Taste Magazine *“With the help of Bryan Ford, sourdough will never be boring again. Even for those uninterested in baking, Ford’s story holds lessons about reaching for a passion while staying grounded by your root.” * Study Breaks *Table of ContentsIntroduction Part I Sourdough Techniques Ch. 1 | Tools, Ingredients, and Techniques • Tools • Ingredients • Techniques — Making and Maintaining Your Sourdough Starter — Building and Maintaining a Levain — Mixing Dough — Shaping Dough — Proofing Dough — Baking Bread PART II Recipes Ch. 2 | Rustic Breads • Pan Rustico (Country Bread) • Pan Integral (Whole-Wheat Bread) • Olive Oil and Sea Salt Tin Loaf • Coco Rugbrød • Toasty Seed Sour • Pan Gallego (Bread of Galicia) • Birote • Pan de Agua (Water Bread) • Plantain Sourdough • Rustic Olive and Parmesan Bread • Ciabatta • English Muffins • Pretzel Buns • New Orleans French Bread • Masa Pizza Crujiente (Crispy Pizza Dough) • Masa Pizza Integral (Whole-Grain Pizza Dough) • Masa Focaccia • Whole-Grain Pita Bread • Tortillas de Harina (Flour Tortillas) Ch. 3 | Enriched Sourdough Breads • Choco Pan de Coco • Honey Oat Tin Loaf • Bananas Foster Sourdough • Cinny Raisin Bagels • Pecan Praline Monkey Bread • Semitas de Yema • Challah • Whole-Grain Brioche Buns • Cuban Muffins • Jamaican Hard Dough • Mallorcas • Muffaletta Rolls • Pão de Queijo (Cheese Bread) • Pan de Café (Coffee Bread) • Queen Cake • Whole-Grain Pineapple Cream Beignets Resources Acknowledgments About the Author Index

Book SynopsisFirst published in 1977, and winning its author the coveted Glenfiddich Writer of the Year Award, this universally acclaimed book is regarded by many as simply the best book ever written about the making of bread. It covers all aspects of flour-milling, yeast, bread ovens and the different types of bread and flour available. It contains an exhaustive collection of recipes, everything from plain brown wholemeal or saffron cake to drop scones and croissants; all described with her typical elegance and unrivalled knowledge. Even how to make your own yeast and keep it. But more than just a list of recipes, it is an insight into an interesting and informative home-baker. Enquire within on any point connected with baking and Miss David has the answer. Nor does it omit the history of bread making from the Exodus onwards, the iniquities of sliced bread and uncovers the dubious practices of some flour millers and bread manufacturers in the UK and elsewhere with amusing anecdotes and personal observations throughout. The writing style of this book has aged well and adds greatly to its charm. This is a book that should be included in every food lovers collection. Not just for those who love to cook but those who enjoy reading about food and its history, and of course it is an absolute must for keen bakers.Trade Review'What David is really out to do is to explore the role of bread in English life over the past few centuries. Hence her recipe-section, too, proves to be a magnificent historical anthology filled with lore from every source imaginable - Robert May, Hannah Glasse, Eliza Acton, forgotten Women's Institute compilations, professional baking manuals, letters from readers...She goes as far afield as pizza, croissants, and a quiche involving Roquefort or other blue cheese. But her focus remains British breads, from Irish soda-bread (still called "a cake of bread" on its home turf) to crumpets...Generous quotations from memoirists, novelists, travelers, and knowledgeable acquaintances are interspersed among the old and modern recipes - without seeming in the least like window-dressing.

Tim Spector ''It is impossible to read this book without wanting to scuttle off into the kitchen.'' Nigella Lawson Foreword by Tim SpectorThe benefits of sourdough are well known - the slow fermentation process creates a healthier and lighter dough that is easier to digest - but until now they have been mainly linked to bread.

Book SynopsisA Food & Wine Best Cookbook of 2022 Baking is a craft, one that has been celebrated by King Arthur Baking Company for more than two centuries. Their Baking School, an essential part of the King Arthur community, is now a book to cherish. It reflects a curriculum that has been honed and refined over the years, with instructors who are experts not just at baking, but at teaching baking. The recipes, notes, instructive photographs, and thoughtfully organized chapters here reflect this depth of experience. From Yeast Breads to Sourdough, Laminated Pastries to Pies and Tarts, Cookies to Cake, readers gain confidence as they play in the kitchen and build new skills. King Arthur’s unique approach is friendly and accessible to all levels, focusing on the “how” and “why.” So much of the magic of baking is understanding how the ingredients interact, trusting when bread dough is proofed, appreciating how buttercream comes together.

From cookies to laminated doughs and yeasted bread, their team of experts shows you how to bake with confidence and success. You can go straight to the trusted recipes or move through the book like going to culinary school. This cookbook is the companion every kitchen will have on its shelf! " -- Zoe Francois, author of Zoe Bakes Cakes and Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day"The regal grain brand is back with another resource for flour fans in this thorough guide to the hows, whys, science, and art of baking. Commonly asked questions, such as how to tell when a sourdough starter is “ripe,” and pro tip callouts simulate the classroom experience of the baking classes King Arthur offers (and which are attended by 10,000 bakers annually), with pointers such as using weight over volume in measurements, adding eggs one at a time to a batter (for better emulsification), or including a touch of cake flour in a puff pastry recipe (for enhanced moisture absorption)....This is a compendium that bakers who want to get better and better will refer to over and over. " -- Publisher's Weekly, Starred Review"When it comes to high-quality ingredients and savvy baking how-to's, nothing beats King Arthur Baking Company. The Vermont-based brand has been educating bakers since 1790, and their most recent book celebrates both baking and learning. Made for newbies and baking-pros alike, Baking School has over 100 recipes from easy bakes to daunting projects. Baking School offers clear instructions that have been honed over the company's tenure for trickier projects like laminating pastry dough. The title of the book is so fitting: following King Arthur's carefully tested recipes, reading their detailed explanations, and looking at their gorgeous and informative photography will quickly hone your baking skills. Baking School is truly the essential guide to baking." -- Food & Wine"King Arthur has a new book, Baking School, coming out in October, and it truly is the most gorgeous, distinctive, and most educational baking book I’ve seen in a long, long time. I just made the blueberry muffins from the book and I will never use any other recipe going forward." -- Forbes
