New, imaginative recipes, baking tips, and outstanding photography
They call this a bread book, but it expands well beyond what you typically think of when you think of bread. Coming as it does from the incredible bakers at King Arthur, there is plenty of science, howto, and tips to benefit bakers at all levels. However, it is the sheer variety of recipes that made this a must have for my baking library. And the photography is simply outstanding. The images of some of the baked goods will have your mouth watering. It’s a superb coffee table book and an indispensable baking bible all at the same time. I have the original King Arthur baking book and this is more than an upgrade. It’s going to keep me from being stumped about what to bake next for years!

For bakers by bakers
Written and created by a team of bakers just for me!! If you sniff the pages I swear I can smell the flour. The book arrived 11-01-24, safely in a box and contains all the correct pages. 460 pages make this a big, heavy book. There is no wasted space anywhere. It’s organized logically, useful appendices based on time needed and leavening ingredients. There are NO recipes requiring specific ingredients to be purchased only from KA. Recipes that call for a pre-ferment also include an alternate work around in case you want to make and bake the same day.The font is a good size, easy to readfrom countertop height and the paper is thick but not shiny so there’s no glare. The pictures are beautiful, without distractions, and are useful to show exactly what you want your finished bake to look like.This is a great book with explanations of why and how without getting too far into the weeds, no junk recipes to fill up space. I feel like the King Arthur Baking Company read my mind and gave me the perfect bread book. Oh and there’s a ribbon bookmark.

Perfect book
The pictures are beautiful, the instructions are well written and easy to follow and, best of all, the finished bread is delicious. This makes a perfect gift

Exceptionally well done
Iâve been baking artisanal and sourdough breads for years. Iâm sceptical of most bread books but, thinking the world of the King Arthur folks, I took a chance on this cookbook. Itâs very very well done and truly has something for everyone. It has instructional components for less experienced bakers, but is not dumbed down. On the other end of the spectrum it has a number of unique recipes that more experienced bakers will find interesting and worth their time. The illustrations and photography are outstanding.This is one of the very few (3 or 4) bread books that I would highly recommend.

Amazing book of bread recipes
The book is tied, not glued, the photos are amazing, there are scan codes that take you to the KA website for a video that demonstrates techniques, the writing is clear and concise. I love that recipes from around the world have been included, thatâs exactly what I was looking for in a book of bread recipes. The internet is great for finding recipes but Iâve had enough fails to know that the recipes are not always tested. Iâve used KA recipes long enough to know that they are very well tested. What a treasure. I am ordering another one for my daughter today!
