Perfect for you if...

You want to understand how professional bakers actually work, not just follow recipes, so you can troubleshoot when things go wrong.
You've had success with basic baking and are ready to tackle laminated doughs, natural fermentation, and more technically demanding projects.
You're obsessed with Bread Ahead's doughnuts or have always wondered what makes them different from the ones you've tried at home.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for quick weeknight desserts or simple, forgiving recipes that don't require much skill or equipment.
You prefer books with lots of photographs for every single step, as this one focuses more on technique and written explanation.
You have no interest in understanding the why behind baking, just want reliable recipes to follow without thinking too much.

About this book

Learn to bake bread and pastry at home with recipes from Bread Ahead Bakery, located in Borough Market. This book draws from the Bakery School, where thousands have learned to make sourdough, croissants, Swedish ryebread, pizza, and other baked goods. The recipes are organized by baking tradition: English, French, Italian, American, Eastern European, and Nordic. Additional chapters cover sourdough, gluten-free baking, and flatbreads. A dedicated chapter focuses on doughnuts, including recipes for Justin Gellatly's signature varieties such as classic vanilla custard and salted honeycomb.
