Tartine Bread: (Artisan Bread Cookbook, Best Bread Recipes, Sourdough Book)

Product Information

Will I make white gazpacho or chilled consomme with soldiers? Nope. But the pictures are pretty. I will make the pizza dough (tomorrow!) and the other bread variations though. Special and Decorative Breads by Roland Bilheus, Alain Escoffier, Daniel Herve, Jean-Marie Pouradier – there are a few books in this series. I have a LOT of bread books. This is the best. Not because it has hundreds of different recipes and fancy rolls and pastries- it doesn't. Not because it has breads from round the world- it doesn't. What it DOES have is the best sourdough bread you have ever tasted, with the simplest and most foolproof method ever. This bread beats anything you will buy, it has flavour, texture, colour and it keeps. The best toast in the known and unknown universes, and the recipe can be adjusted to your own circumstance and preference once you understand Chad's unique method and learn to 'feel' the development of your dough.

Chefs, travelers, and photographers Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid have published several books together about the foods of Asia, from Iran to Vietnam and beyond, but it's this one that earned them a James Beard Award. This set of varied but easy-to-follow recipes, along with sumptuous photos, is a great way to venture outside the limits of "traditional" bread-baking. This is a book that will take you places. This means that unlike a classic recipe book where you can skim and choose a different recipe each time, the structure of the book is built so that certain concepts and techniques are mentioned in a specific recipe and to implement them you need to read this particular chapter before proceeding to the recipe you wish to make. The recipe can be divided in half. I feed 50g starter with 100g flour + 100g water around 11am, do the turns/shaping in the evening, rise overnight & bake in the morning. When starter begins to show signs of activity, begin regular feedings. Keep the starter at room temperature, and at the same time each day discard 80 percent of the starter and feed remaining starter with equal parts warm water and white-wheat flour mix (50 grams of each is fine). When starter begins to rise and fall predictably and takes on a slightly sour smell, it’s ready; this should take about 1 week.(Reserve remaining flour mix for leaven.)

CHAD ROBERTSON lives and works with his wife and partner, Elisabeth, and their daughter, Archer, along with the rest of the Tartine family, in San Francisco. The book provides comprehensive theory and practice about everything that is bread. The science behind baking, different types of bread, challah, bagels and so on, different kinds of grains, tips, and techniques on how to fix and improve problematic bread.

Any time you're using lots of flour or other dry ingredients, you should be weighing them. Measuring cups and spoons don't serve up the same amount of flour every time; you need a scale to achieve the accuracy required for bread recipes. If a cookbook makes this basic mistake and measures flour in cups and tablespoons, it's a sure indication that its recipes will be suspect. Before you start browsing this list keep in mind one thing: Reading Can Seriously Damage Your Ignorance 🙂 His recipes are simple, functional and practical, one that can be prepared in any home kitchen. It explains simple things like how to use your oven more efficiently to get better bread.The secret to Tartine bread’s popularity, say readers of the book, is… yep, the chemistry. The starter used for most sourdough bread is made differently when creating Tartine sourdough. Incorporating whole-grain wheat flour and ingredients like rye, oats, corn, and quinoa into baked goods gives you a whole universe of flavor possibilities, but whole grains also turn bread-making into a more complex challenge. Who better to walk you through it than Peter Reinhart, the expert behind our all-around favorite bread book? Only a handful of bakers have learned the bread science techniques Chad Robertson has To Chad Robertson, bread is the foundation of a meal, the center of daily life, and each loaf tells the story of the baker who shaped it. Chad Robertson developed his unique bread over two decades of apprenticeship with the finest artisan bakers in France and the United States, as well as experimentation in his own ovens. Readers will be astonished at how elemental it is.

Tartine Bread by Elisabeth Prueitt, Chad Robertson, Hardcover

Transfer dough to a work surface and dust top with flour. Use a dough scraper to cut dough into 2 equal pieces and flip them over so floured sides are face down. Fold the cut side of each piece up onto itself so the flour on the surface remains entirely on the outside of the loaf; this will become the crust. Work dough into taut rounds. Place the dough rounds on a work surface, cover with a towel, and let rest 30 minutes. For a baker at any level who wants to master techniques and bake a variety of breads, we recommend" The Bread Baker's Apprentice." If you're on a gluten-free diet and want to start baking at home, we recommend " Gluten-Free Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day." What to Look for in a Bread Cookbook Recipes That Use Weights I'm not really going to read this entire book. It's basically designed as a coffee table book replete with beautiful pictures of details of bread-making. Robertson tells a bit about his history in baking, but without sufficient detail or drama to be really interesting. Then there are recipes. But the thing about learning to cook in the youtube era is this: a good book can't possibly compete with a halfway decent video, when one's hope is to learn new techniques. I learned to make a decent Tartine-style round loaf from "The Regular Chef," who credits and promotes this book: My only reservation: I’m not sure this is the book is for the beginner home beaker. You will be better off with knowing a few of the basics first. The book takes into consideration that most of his readers are beginners bakers and therefore does not require any exotic ingredients so that all recipes can be made in the home kitchen without the hassle of trying to hunt down special flours etc.The country bread from Tartine Bakery in San Francisco has reached cult status among passionate bakers, and deservedly so. Based on traditional principles, Mr. Robertson has developed a way to get a tangy, open crumb encased in a blistered, rugged crust in a home kitchen, from a starter you create yourself. It is a bit of project — from start to finish, it takes about two weeks — but well worth the effort. (If you already have active starter ready to go, then the process shortens to two days.) So know that you have to be patient, and that the nature of bread baking at home is unpredictable. The level of activity of your starter, the humidity in your kitchen, the temperature during the rises, the time you allow for each step — all of these elements affect the bread and any change can impact your final loaf. But that final loaf is a wonder, the holy grail for the serious home baker. —The New York Times We also post our favorite tasty recipes and step-by-step guides for everything from sourdough bagels to French croissants; brioche donuts to banana bread. Life changed! This bread has been such a great addition to our routines. With two small kids,I'm at a stage where I'm home a lot, and this recipe has truly been a wonderful adventure. The bread machine is kind of a miracle for busy bakers: Just load it with ingredients, press a few buttons, and walk away.A few hours later, you'll have a warm, freshly baked loaf of bread. But bread machines' instruction manuals usually only include a handful of different recipes, obscuring the incredible versatility the countertop appliance offers.
