5 out of 5 stars Baking Artisan Bread   November 10, 2008

Baking Artisan Bread by Ciril Hitz is subtitled 10 Expert Formulas for Baking Better Bread at Home. It's true that the recipes presented are sized for the home baker, however, serious devotees and professionals can learn from the hints, scientific explanations, production tips, and troubleshooting that are offered. Bakers of all levels of abilities and understanding can learn something from this book. Each formula is presented in weight as well as volume measurements and includes at least one variation. The formulas and procedures are presented in an easy to understand format. The abundance of photos ensures an understanding of the baked products and process shots reinforce the "how to." It scores high on information, presentation, and photography. This is a great book for any bread lover's library.

Ciril gives you formulas and instructions that work and taste great. He does not comprise on technique just to make it easy. If you can master Ciril's instructions, you will turn out better bread than your local bakery. If you are serious, go to one of his 3 day courses and you will learn the formulas for what I think are his two best breads--Pain Rustique and Miche.

If you are new to pre-ferments, try starting with the focaccia. It makes use of a poolish, but is forgiving. Also, you don't have to use steam. Cover with herb oil and after 20 minutes with grated Parmesan. You will be amazed with the results.

This book is not for people who want to make bread in 2 hours. If you want that kind of bread, don't waste the 2 hours, just buy a loaf at the store. This book is for people who are willing to do the little bit of extra planning and work to get exceptional results. Most of the recipes will require that you mix a pre-ferment the day before you bake. This extra 5 minutes and 12-18 hours overnight is the step that makes all the difference.

Chef Hitz is an amazing baker. I know this first hand as I had him as an instructor. I only just received this book in the mail today and I am already planning which breads to make first. Although I have yet to make the recipes - just from looking at the set up of this book I know they will be great. If you are looking for a clearly written, well thought out bread book - you found it. The directions are easy to follow and they do not go on and on before reaching the how to. There are great pictures at every step to ensure that things are going as they should. If you are looking to have this autographed, you can pay a bit more through this site: http://breadhitz.com/salestools.html

Bake, Eat and Enjoy!

I bought many bread books, but this is by far the best of all them and the DVD is a wonderful addition.
