James Morton was surely the people's favorite to win 2012's Great British Bake Off series--with his Fairisle jumpers and eccentric showstoppers, this soft-spoken Scottish medical student won the viewers' hearts, if not the trophy. James's real passion is bread-making. He is fascinated by the science of it, the taste of it, the making of it. And in Brilliant Bread he communicates that passion to everyone, demystifying the often daunting process of "proper" bread making. James uses supermarket flour and instant yeast--you can save money by making your own bread. You don't even have to knead It just takes a bit of patience and a few simple techniques. Using step by step photos, James guides the reader through the how-to of dough making and shaping, with recipes ranging from basic loaves through flatbreads, sourdoughs, sweet doughs, buns, doughnuts, focaccia, and pretzels. Inspiring and simple to follow, with James's no-nonsense advice and tips, this book will mean you never buy another sliced white loaf again.
To be honest, I bought this as a download for a reader. I am now looking for a hardbound copy. The recipes are well explained, measurements compared to US measurments, instructions are easy to follow and really take the mystery out of baking breads of all kinds. The "mug bread" is my favorite...can't get much easier than this recipe.
