"The Bread Bakers Apprentice"

I recently purchased this book in Salt Lake City and I absolutely love it! Before I read this book, I didn't know a lot about the technical and scientific side to baking breads. Peter Reinhart used the first 100pages of this book to discuss the different stages that bread has to go through in order get the most flavor and the best texture from the grain. He give a short history lesson with each of the different recipes, which really liked :)

Overall, If you are looking to become a more experienced and knowledgeable bread baker, I highly recommend you get this book. This book offers you soooo much more than the recipes! After reading the book, Peter Reinhart has made me just as passionate about bread baking as himself.
