The Handmade Loaf is a collection of recipes, personal stories and photographs that capture both the breads and the bakers of Europe. With over 80 recipes, many inspired by the bakers profiled, The Handmade Loaf provides a variety of bread staples that range from the rustic to the artisan. They tap into an older knowledge of bread baking while looking at local ingredients and traditional methods with fresh eyes.
Dan Lepard presents a unique way of looking at bread while providing recipes that are natural, achievable and delicious. Their blend of history and innovation will appeal to both the experienced baker, and to a generation ready to discover the simple pleasure of baking their first loaf at home.
The Handmade Loaf provides a beautiful, photographic experience that captures the individual processes of bread baking. Shot in real time, the photographs place the reader beside the baker as the dough is mixed and the bread is removed from the oven. The images are purposefully detailed and raw so that we understand perfectly how crumb structure and crust vary from recipe to recipe.
