This is a beautiful heavy duty paperback book of Breads from all over the World that is my go to book on breadmaking.

I especially love the English muffin recipe along with the Naan and Pita bread. I have also made the rye bread and the onion loaf. The recipes are for the metric system, must be a british book, but they are very easy to calculate.

The pictures are beautiful and very helpful for you to figure out how to shape the breads.

There is a lovely section for bread machines that is very helpful.

I really love this book and highly recommend it to anyone that loves to bake.

Beautiful book. Almost made me want to take up bread-baking again.

It is said that bread is the staff of life. Here the authors discuss many of the different breads of the world and tell how to bake them. There are many color photos and tips.
