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!
