The Breads of France: And How to Bake Them in Your Own Kitchen
- Used Book in Good Condition
An instant classic upon publication in 1978, THE BREADS OF FRANCE introduced American bakers to the pleasures of French artisanal breads. Author Bernard Clayton spent years visiting boulangeries both famous and unknown, collecting authentic bread recipes from some of the most esteemed bakers in France. The resulting treasure trove includes such classic regional breads as Petits Pains au Chocolat from Bracieux, Pain de Campagne from the Parisian master baker PoilÃ¢ne, and Pumpkin-Cornmeal Bread from the French Basque country. Claytonâ€™s recipes are written in a unique step-by-step styleâ€”instructions lucid and complete, questions anticipated and answeredâ€”that evolved from his experiences teaching bread-baking classes. Filled with delightful vignettes of French culture, history, and bread-baking lore and charming black-and-white photographs, The Breads of France is not just a glorious collection of bread recipesâ€”itâ€™s a window onto the worldâ€™s richest, most storied bread-baking tradition.
