Perfect for you if...

You've bought bread books before but never actually made the recipes because they seemed too complex or temperamental.
You want step-by-step guidance with photographs so you can see exactly what your dough should look like at each stage.
You're curious about trying different flours and techniques but need someone to walk you through the fundamentals first.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for quick weeknight recipes; most of these breads require time, planning, and multiple days of fermentation.
You prefer written instructions without visual aids; this book leans heavily on its photography to teach technique.
You're intimidated by baking in general and need hand-holding beyond what a cookbook can offer.

About this book

Crust presents an approach to bread baking that begins with mastering sourdough and creating homemade ferments, enabling you to make bread at any time. The book then moves to specialty breads using various flours and flavors, including spelt bread, bagels, and pretzels. Bertinet explores croissants and their variations, along with sweet breads such as stollen and brioche. Throughout the book, step-by-step photography, straightforward advice, and practical techniques support the recipes and methods presented.
