  • Packed with techniques, each addressing the particularities of different types of dough

  • Answers many important questions that affect the quality of the loaf: how does the protein level in flour affect the amount of water that it absorbs? how does a baker know the right time to load the loaves for the ideal outcome?

  • 245 illustrations demonstrating proper step-by-step technique

  • 48 four-color photographs.
