A practical guide to homemade bread

Bonnie Ohara’s guide brings together three approaches to bread baking: kneaded, no-knead, and enriched doughs. Recipes progress from beginner-level baking toward intermediate and advanced sweet and savory breads, with step-by-step photographs and instructions to support the process. Alongside the recipes, the book covers preparation and proofing times, baking terminology, kitchen tools, and troubleshooting questions—including problems such as burnt brioche or deflated baguettes. The combination makes it both a recipe collection and a reference for understanding the choices and common challenges involved in baking bread at home.

Good fit for readers who enjoy
