Product Description
Product Description
People love a fresh loaf. The way it smells, the crunch of the crust, the warm, soft texture of bread newly out of the oven. The growth of artisan bakeries and the increasing choice in supermarkets is testament to the fact that we want an alternative to the pre-packaged conformity of mass-produced baking. So why not make it ourselves? Bread is cheap to make, and a lot simpler than you might think. The Bread Revolution is a call to arms, encouraging all of us to think again about baking our own loaves. It demystifies the whole process, offering an easy repertoire of delicious savoury breads and sweet dough treats, plus down-to-earth tips. Its 60 inspiring recipes range from soda bread to potato and rosemary, healthy multi-seed wholemeal to an amazing sourdough that can fit in your busy schedule. Central to the book is the idea that bread can be a meal in itself, with ideas for quick lunches, children's teas and evening meals. Plus cinnamon Danish pastries and hot cross buns, and a host of thrifty recipes for your bread leftovers, from summer gazpacho to winter-warming bread and butter pudding. Key points: affordable, easy recipes to make bread making accessible to everyone from novices through to experienced cooks; contains 60 recipes including enriched white bread, sourdough, English muffins, doughnuts and hot cross buns; tips on how to save money by using every last piece of the bread with recipes such as bread and butter pudding, croutons and stuffing; Duncan Glendinning and Patrick Ryan have a rapidly growing profile and are two of the strongest names to watch on the UK food scene; Duncan has been named a Food Hero in the Good Housekeeping Food Awards and he and Patrick were shortlisted for the BCE Environmental Leadership Awards for their ethical, green approach and use of organic, local and foraged ingredients.
About the Author
Duncan Glendinning began as a web designer, but put down his mouse to pick up a trowel and start growing his own veg. He met Dick and James Strawbridge and featured in the tv show It's Not Easy Being Green, then in Tribe Wanted, where he was an eco consultant in Fiji. Here he met chef Patrick Ryan, and hatched the plan for The Thoughtful Bread Company, which is now acclaimed as a leading ethical business as well as for its fantastic baking. Their breads are to be found everywhere from Michelin-starred restaurants to children's lunch packs.

I love cooking but kind of shy away from baking. I have so many cookbooks on my shelves but this book has been a bit of a game changer for me. It's got me excited about baking and after only having it for 1 day I made the Cinnamon Swirls and that was it really, my passion for baking was back! I'm pretty rubbish at baking and they were amazing. Can't recommend this book enough, not only does it have great recipes for sweet and savoury breads but for meals to accompany the breads too. Definitely my number 1 baking book and the first one that has ever made me instantly make a recipe on day 1.

I highly recommend this book. It is packed full of great recipes, along with loads of helpful hints to help you improve your baking skills.
I made baguettes and cinnamon swirls from the book this weekend and both turned out brilliantly. I would like to think this was down to my skills, but think it has more to do with the great recipes and detailed instructions!
I have got a few baking books but this is my new favourite! It has a wide variety of recipes and goes beyond the standard that you find in most books.
The book is written in such a way that it is suitable for all levels. It would be great for someone keen to learn the basics, but also has tips which would help those who have a bit more experience.
I suggest you buy the book and join the revolution!

a much anticipated book by myself, and not as great as it could have been in my opinion. Don't get me wrong its a good bread book, but in a market of other really good bread books it doesn't stand out.
Also i was anticipating recipes for their great breads that they sell, but some are missing, notably the beetroot bread.
i would still recommend the purchase of this book, just personally thought it could have been great not just good

Beautiful
This is one of the most beautifully-designed books I've come across in a long time. I've noticed quite a few criticisms about it only containing about 50% of bread recipes. Read more

A bread making book should be about bread making
I was expecting a bread baking book. I was only getting a 50% bread making book. There are as many non-bread baking recipes in the book as there are bread baking recipes. Read more
