As everyone who has ever tried it knows, baking good whole-grain bread is a chancy business.?Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.? Laurel Robertson and her friends have taken up this challenge.?They have consulted with bread scientists and professional bakers. They have studied the history of bread making and, most important, they have baked thousands and thousands of loaves themselves.
They've devised a method of baking that yields nutritious, soul-satisfying bread every time. Using the best of old-fashioned (pre-white flour) experience, as well as the convenience of modern equipment (the food processor and the dough hook, for example), they have devised a system that consistently gives you the kind of bread you crave.
Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book takes you by the hand and leads you through the process so that you also can achieve superb results. Equally useful is the treasury of advice. Have you baked a brick? Did your dough refuse to rise? Are you too busy to bake? Are you afraid you don't have the right equipment? Here is all the information you need to make beautiful delicious, healthful bread. You'll learn how to fit baking into your schedule. You'll learn to trust yourself, to know the feel of the living dough, the mystery of the "spring", the warmth of the aroma that will fill your house- as it does Laurel's Kitchen.?
