Book SynopsisCreating the perfect loaf of bread--a challenge that has captivated bakers for centuries--is now the rage in the hippest places, from Waitsfield, Vermont, to Point Reyes Station, California. Like the new generation of beer drinkers who consciously seek out distinctive craft-brewed beers, many people find that their palates have been reawakened and re-educated by the taste of locally baked, whole-grain breads. Today's village bakers are finding an important new role--linking tradition with a sophisticated new understanding of natural levens, baking science and oven construction. Daniel Wing, a lover of all things artisanal, had long enjoyed baking his own sourdough bread. His quest for the perfect loaf began with serious study of the history and chemistry of bread baking, and eventually led to an apprenticeship with Alan Scott, the most influential builder of masonry ovens in America. Alan and Daniel have teamed up to write this thoughtful, entertaining, and authoritative book that shows you how to bake superb healthful bread and build your own masonry oven. The authors profile more than a dozen small-scale bakers around the U.S. whose practices embody the holistic principles of community-oriented baking based on whole grains and natural leavens. The Bread Builders will appeal to a broad range of readers, including: Connoisseurs of good bread and good food. Home bakers interested in taking their bread and pizza to the next level of excellence. Passionate bakers who fantasize about making a living by starting their own small bakery. Do-it-yourselfers looking for the next small construction project. Small-scale commercial bakers seeking inspiration, the most up-to-date knowledge about the entire bread-baking process, and a marketing edge. Trade ReviewReview from Ecology Action Newsletter- The Bread Builders: Hearth Loaves and Masonry Ovens, by Daniel Wing and Alan Scott, is a serious book, written for people who take their bread baking seriously. It is not a cookbook but one whose object is to help the baker understand all parts of the process that go into creating an excellent loaf. As such, it is a technical journal that thoroughly details natural fermentation, bread grains and flours, leavens and dough, and dough development. The second part is about masonry ovens and their construction, since both authors agree that such an oven is a necessary part of creating the excellent loaf. Each chapter of the book includes a visit to a commercial or private venture which is using some or all of the processes being described. The book is not a light read but should prove inspiring to those wanting more information about the baking process, how to construct a masonry oven or anyone who is glad to see that these traditional methods are being nurtured rather than forgotten."This book is ice cream for a baker! We visit legendary bakeries, meet wonderful people, learn all sorts of fascinating scientific information with practical usefulness in bowl and oven--and best of all, get the skinny on masonry ovens, that cherished fantasy of us all."--Laurel Robertson, author of Laurel's KitchenTable of ContentsContents Acknowledgments vi Preface ix Introduction Looking for Real Bread, Finding Masonry Ovens xiii Chapter One Naturally Fermented Hearth Bread 1 Visit: Upland Bakers, Marshfield, Vermont 18 Chapter Two Bread Grains and Flours 23 Visit: Giusto's Specialty Foods, South San Francisco, California 41 Chapter Three Leavens and Doughs 43 Visit: Sands, Taylor, and Wood (King Arthur Flour), Norwich, Vermont 69 Chapter Four Dough Development 72 Visit: Acme Baking Company, Berkeley, California 89 Chapter Five Baking, Ovens, and Bread 93 Visit: Consulting and Marketing Services, South San Francisco, California 108 Chapter Six Masonry Ovens of Europe and America 113 Visits: American Flatbread, Warren, Vermont 123 The Cheese Board, Berkeley, California 127 Chapter Seven Preparing to Build a Masonry Oven 129 Visits: Mugnaini Imports, Watsonville, California 149 San Juan Bakery, San Juan Bautista, California, and Home Fires Bakery, Leavenworth, Washington 153 Chapter Eight Masonry Materials, Tools, and Methods 157 Visit: Cafe Beaujolais, Mendocino, California 169 Chapter Nine Oven Construction 173 Visit: Depot Town Sourdough Bakery, Ypsilanti, Michigan 193 Chapter Ten Oven Management 195 Visits: Della Fatoria, Petaluma, California 210 Rani and Keith, Garberville, California 213 Chapter Eleven A Day in the Life at the Bay Village Bakery 216 Bakers' Resource: Sourdough Microbiology 227 Recommended Sources 233 Glossary 236 Bibliography 243 Index 246

You reading it means everything to me' Kitty Tait Breadsong tells the story of Kitty Tait who was a chatty, bouncy and full-of-life 14 year old until she was overwhelmed by an ever-thickening cloud of depression and anxiety and she withdrew from the world. Her desperate family tried everything to help her but she slipped further away from them. One day her dad Alex, a teacher, baked a loaf of bread with her and that small moment changed everything. One loaf quickly escalated into an obsession and Kitty started to find her way out of the terrible place she was in. Baking bread was the one thing that made any sense to her and before long she was making loaves for half her village. After a few whirlwind months, she and her dad opened the Orange Bakery, where queues now regularly snake down the street.

Book SynopsisNamed one of the Best Cookbooks of the Year by Food & Wine, The Boston Globe, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, The Washington Post, and more Israeli baking encompasses the influences of so many regions—Morocco, Yemen, Germany, and Georgia, to name a few—and master baker Uri Scheft seamlessly marries all of these in his incredible baked goods at his Breads Bakery in New York City and Lehamim Bakery in Tel Aviv. Nutella-filled babkas, potato and shakshuka focaccia, and chocolate rugelach are pulled out of the ovens several times an hour for waiting crowds. In Breaking Breads, Scheft takes the combined influences of his Scandinavian heritage, his European pastry training, and his Israeli and New York City homes to provide sweet and savory baking recipes that cover European, Israeli, and Middle Eastern favorites. Scheft sheds new light on classics like challah, babka, and ciabatta—and provides his creative twists on them as well, showing how bakers can do the same at home—and introduces his take on Middle Eastern daily breads like kubaneh and jachnun. The instructions are detailed and the photos explanatory so that anyone can make Scheft’s Poppy Seed Hamantaschen, Cheese Bourekas, and Jerusalem Bagels, among other recipes. With several key dough recipes and hundreds of Israeli-, Middle Eastern–, Eastern European–, Scandinavian-, and Mediterranean-influenced recipes, this is truly a global baking bible.Trade Review“From babka to breadsticks, Breaking Breads is a definitive guide.”—Food Wine, The Best Cookbooks for 2016 “A delight to contemplate, offering up utterly creative and beautiful challahs, babkas, rugelach, burekas, and pita, with a small array of savory dips, salads, and condiments at the end. It’s baker porn.”—The Boston Globe, The Season’s Best Cookbooks “Uri Scheft’s new cookbook falls midway between two trends—Old World baking and Israeli cuisine—and the results are deeply satisfying. . . . Scheft’s recipes are fairly simple for a baking book, without the torturously long instructions many traditional methods can include. And there are plenty of sidebars, with tips.”—Los Angeles Times, Our Favorite Cookbooks of Fall 2016 “Stunning. . . . Scheft, the force behind Lehamim Bakery in Tel Aviv and Breads Bakery in New York, has contributed mightily to the canon of bread-focused books not only for his wizard use of Middle Eastern ingredients but also for helping to create such stunning process and technique photography.”—The Washington Post, The Best Cookbooks of 2016 “[Scheft’s] generously portioned recipes for basic doughs (e.g., challah, babka, brioche, flatbreads) lend themselves to endless variation, and general home bakers can use them to produce both simple rolls and dramatic, festive loaves. [The book] explains the dough’s look and feel during all stages of preparation and includes plenty of step-by-step photographs to illustrate more challenging braiding, coiling, and other shaping techniques. . . . An essential modern Middle Eastern baking collection featuring delights such as shakshuka focaccia and chocolate rugelach.”—Library Journal, starred review “No matter your heritage, this collection will expand your horizons.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune “This beautiful book . . . provides a thorough look into the many influences that have shaped the world of Israeli baking . . . full of enough details and photos to encourage even a novice baker to bake.”—Haaretz.com “Drawing from his Israeli heritage, childhood love of fresh breads, and global travels, Uri makes the international classics . . . and lesser-known European, Israeli, and Middle Eastern Breads . . . accessible for the home baker. . . . This cookbook is truly a bread baker’s guide to Europe and the Middle East.”—Bake from Scratch magazine “A bold and beautiful collection of updated classics and playful riffs.”—The Forward “To sample Scheft’s chocolate babka is at once a blessing and a curse: It’ll become an obsession. But thanks to [Breaking Breads] you can make it at home—with the help of step-by-step photograph instructions that ensure babka success.”—TastingTable.com “Uri Scheft is the quintessential Israeli baker. His breads, pastries, and babkas have been blowing my mind since I first ate them on the sidewalk of his bakery in Tel Aviv. This is the book that I have been yearning to read."—Michael Solomonov, author and chef/owner of Zahav "Uri Scheft's reader-friendly instructions, gleaned from a lifetime of baking, lead would-be bakers into the kitchen. I love this book."—Joan Nathan, author of King Solomon's Table “I've been waiting for Uri to reveal the secrets to his incredible babka and chocolate rugelach. He finally reveals them and more in Breaking Breads, which melds Middle Eastern flavors with modern tastes. I'm looking forward to rolling up my sleeves and baking my way through his groundbreaking book.”—David Lebovitz, author of My Paris Kitchen “The ultimate modern guide to the world of global Jewish and Middle Eastern baking. Master baker Uri Scheft shares his craft and knowledge of craveable savory and sweet baked goods, inviting you to make them in your own home.”—Lior Lev Sercarz, author and owner of La Boîte "From challah to kubaneh, burekas to pita, this is the most definitive and important book on Israeli breads and baking."—Einat Admony, author and chef/owner of Taïm and Balaboosta
