Authoritative and accessible, The King Arthur Baking Company Big Book of Bread is exceptional for its range: the 125 recipes for yeasted and naturally leavened breads are designed to appeal to novices and advanced bakers alike, as well as those who are deep into sourdough.
Everything you want to know about how to make a perfect loaf is here: from techniques for folding and shaping, to information about flour, yeast, sourdough culture, and fermentation. Each recipe is accompanied by a gorgeous photo, and the instructional information includes step-by-step photography along with QR codes throughout that direct you to how-to videos.
