Description
Since our highly successful Bread Book was published in 1992, great changes have occurred within breadmaking and consumer expectations of it. The word is organic and the era of the mass produced sliced white loaf is dwindling. Bread is now often baked in wood-fired ovens, using traditional methods to ensure a natural, country taste. Country Bread follows the same pattern as its predecessor, looking at natural, country breads all over the world with accompanying recipes that have been adapted for contemporary kitchens.
