Paul Hollywood is Britain`s favourite master baker. His new book is all about bread
- how to make it & how to use it. But while it`s all very well making a lovely loaf of bread, can you guarantee that it won`t be wasted? You know those times when you have a lovely crusty loaf, fresh from the oven, & you have a horrible feeling that after the initial excitement is over, half of it`s going to get pushed aside & not eaten...? Well, maybe it`s time to bring bread back into mealtimes for real. Not only does Paul teach you exactly how to make a variety of breads, but for each one there is a spin-off recipe that shows you how to make a fantastic meal of it. The book has six chapters, each with five bread recipes
- plus the spin-off recipes for main courses. Not only are Paul`s recipes delicious but they are also foolproof, with comprehensive step-by-step photographs. Try your hand at a basic white bloomer, which can become a savoury picnic loaf; stilton & bacon rolls, which are excellent served with celery soup; fluffy crumpets, which become the base for eggs Benedict; flatbreads, which are a natural pairing with chickpea masala; ciabatta, which the Italians have traditionally used as a base for tomatoey panzanella; pizza bases, which can become home-made fig, Parma ham & Gorgonzola pizzas; or white chocolate & raspberry bread, which makes for the best summer pudding you`ve ever tasted. Tying in with the BBC2 television series, Paul Hollywood`s Bread is all that you could want from a book & more. Get baking!
