Cofounder of the legendary Brother Juniper's Bakery, author of the landmark
books Brother Juniper's Bread Book and Crust & Crumb, and distinguished
instructor at the world's largest culinary academy, Peter Reinhart has been
a leader in America's artisanal bread movement for over fifteen years.
Never one to be content, with yesterday's baking triumph, Peter continues
to refine his recipes and techniques in his never-ending quest for
extraordinary bread. In his latest work, he shares his latest bread
breakthroughs, arising from his study in several of France's boulangeries
and the always-enlightening time spent in the culinary academy kitchen with
his students. Peer over Peter's shoulder as he learns from Paris's most
esteemed bakers like Lionel Poilane and Phillippe Gosselin. Then stand
alongside his students as he teaches the classic 12 stages of building
bread, his clear instructions accompanied by over 100 step-by-step
photographs. Fifty new master formulas for such classic breads as rustic
ciabatta, hearty pain de campagne, old-school New York bagel and the book's
Holy Grail--Peter's version of the famed pain a l'ancienne. A remarkably
accessible, and engaging resource that is as rich and mulititextured as the
loaves you will turn out.
