Product Description

Product Description

Bread is the one common factor linking every culture together since the beginning of history. It holds a social and gastronomi significance for everybody. Paul Hollywood's love of this creative foodstuff has built him a thriving bakery and seen him creating breads for some of the country's most famous hotels. He believes in celebrating not only the breaking of bread, but the making of it too, and conveys his own love of bread-making and its therapeutic powers in this collection of recipes. From basic bread to breakfast breads, Mediterranean, traditional and ancient recipes, pizzas, muffins and cakes, these recipes take in every aspect of bread-making. They throw a fresh light on this seemingly simple food with a multitude of flavours, and a twist on the older ones.


From the Author

I want this book to well-used and thumbed through. Having baked at some of the most lavish hotels of the world, it would be satisfying to know that the recipes in this book will find their way to your dining table. The recipes are easy to follow and taste delicious. Bread is essentially easy to make and I hope you enjoy making them as much as I have. The recipes in this book from the likes of Italy, France and above all Cyprus represent my travels through Europe on my quest to find good, hearty bread [with no additives]. My crusade is to put bread back where it belongs, in the centre of our tables with the likes of wine, cheese, pate and olives.....ENJOY!

5.0 out of 5 stars The only bread Recipe Book you'll need, 4 Feb 2006
By Mrs. T. J. Burns "mitzilawson" (Manchester UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book has so many great recipes in it the only problem you may have is "where do I start?".

If you are a complete novice though this question is answered for you as Paul recommends you try the wheatsheaf bread first.

I have a breadmaker and although I love the simplicity of it, my loaves were always dense and heavy. Now that I have tried a few of the recipes from this book I am embarrased that I ever served these poor efforts to my family! Since buying this book none of my bread creations have failed, everything comes out light looking 'shop bought'.

My biggest compliment was when my husband refused to believe that the bread we were eating was made and not shop bought, and my daughter ask me to make loaves everyday for lunch.

Everything in this book is easy to undertand with step by step instuctions to guarantee success, there are a lot of tasy sounding variations for your money too. Sweet and savoury breads from different cultures too including croissants, nan, pitta breads, danish pastries, scones, beer bread!

If you buy this book, my biggest tip would be - try the baguette recipe first, a great recipe for bread that practically makes itself and the best bit is NO KNEADING.

Get rid of your breadmaker, all these can be made with less than 20 minutes effort - you won't regret it! (p.S go and get some fresh yeast from the bakery dept in Tesco's)

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, but not yet great...., 18 Mar 2006
Some of the recipes that I've attempted are ambiguous, resulting in a number of failure's. One recipe calls for 15 grams of the 'total' yeast to be added - but defines 'total' as '1 package'. What standard is represented by '1 package'??? In another case, the recipe required a 'starter' which was to be left overnight for rising. The ratio of flour to liquid made it impossible to either whisk - or to rise. I trusted the recipe and was left to buy storebought, in order to have bread for my function.

If you have no experience in baking bread, you will have a problem with this book. I am a fairly experience bread-maker (father was a chef) and I would have to call on my background, to be able to determine if a recipe was going to work. To give credit where it is due, the croissant recipe is terrific. On the first-try, I was able to produce PERFECT danish pastries / croissants.

Perhaps, a later revision will eliminate some of these technical issues - and make this a great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book, 27 Feb 2004
By mrs s paterson (portsmouth, hants United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Paul Hollywood really understands bread products and the way that they contribute to the cuisine from which they come. He makes it clear that breads are not difficult or specialised and that there are similar processes in breadmaking all over the world. He makes breadmaking seem easy and acccessible to us all.
