Baking School: The ultimate baking book from Bread Ahead - featuring delicious doughnuts, sourdough bread recipes and more! Hardcover – 31 Aug. 2017

I love baking and have done so for the last 16 years. I don't know what it is about this book, maybe the passion of the bakers or how good the results of the recipes are?? Like I stated I don't know but it is fantastic. The enthusiasm of all three bakers comes through and the love of their craft.The little tips like using a Dutch oven to help you achieve a bakery standard Sourdough. I cannot bake enough at present. The book itself is very nicely written with lots of little anecdotes of travel and food. I have lots of other baking books Richard Bertinet, Paul Hollywood etc but this book is something else. Thank you for sharing it with us you lovely baker people.

Great book and really handy to have the Kindle version. I found the processes and methods to be clearly explained and photos help you to visualise them. The recipes are very tempting and I’m sure will become quicker/easier with more practice. The bagels and pretzels are delicious so I’m planning focaccia next. Bread recipes from around the world are organised in ‘chapters’. The BreadAhead bakery Instagram is a must for lockdown visual treats - they also do classes.

Brilliant book..step by step instructions

Determined to broaden my range of baking and to improve my technique, I'm vaguely just working through this book from the beginning. On the whole it's going well, though I would like three more bits of info:• the time needed for each recipe; it's frustrating to start one to find that the bread won't be ready until the day after tomorrow• some troubleshooting• a link to a video showing how on earth this bowl of very very slack dough (rather like cake mix) at 100% hydration (equal weights of liquid and flour) turns into something kneadable - I've taken to using 80% of the liquid specified. Take the pizza dough, for example: luckily I have a pizza tin with a tall rim, so I could pour in the dough and let it spread out on its own.My pictures show a failure (the dough stuck to the floured cloth) and a couple of successes (manchets and muffins); actually pretty much everything tastes good!

Best sourdough recipe EVER!!! I've adjusted it and made it my own and honestly my bread game has gone up to the max. The stiff starter is perfect for any recipe you would like to create yourself. The doughnuts are to die for. Everything I've tried in this book has worked perfectly. AMAZING!!

This is a MUST buy. Super simple and the results are amazing. The sourdough bread and doughnut recipes are excellent and taste so so good! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to pull them off, but the explanations and funny anecdotes put me at ease! Super clear instructions!

Have made several of the recipes in this book. Particularly many of the sourdough bread recipes and every single one has turned out amazing every time I’ve tried it. One of the best baking books I’ve ever used, highly recommend.

Had to concentrate reading the first few pages and understanding how to make the starter and stiff starter that are required for most of the recipes. But this book is gold, I love it and the sourdough bread is a weekly tradition now.
