For a limited time we have copies signed by the authors!

If you’ve been hesitating about rolling up your sleeves and baking bread, trust the good people of King Arthur to provide you with an introductory book which will stay useful for years.

From simple sandwich loaves and forgiving focaccia to rye flatbreads, sourdough black bread, bagels and brioche these detailed recipes are supported by instructional photography that addresses techniques such as kneading, shaping and braiding, proofing, and scoring.

Although it’s easy to find recipes for a wide variety of popular standards, we also admire the inclusion of recipes which are less common, such as:

• Chinese bolo bao, custard-filled pineapple buns

• Sfeeha halabi, meat-topped flatbreads from Aleppo

• Preserved lemon and olive bread, redolent of North Africa

• Roman maritozzi, a Lenten indulgence
