This is a thorough, yet easy to understand book that will get you started making homemade bread without a lot of confusion. After reading the book I made my first homemade loaf of Beer Bread. It smelled delicious and tasted even better. It was a nice surprise.Jenny Davis does a thorough job of explaining everything involved in homemade bread making. She starts by explaining the different types of flours and the best ones for bread making. She then gives short lessons on the various types of yeast and how to use them. Kneading and proofing come next followed by explanations of required equipment.At this point you are ready to give bread making a try. I started with the easiest recommendation and it turned out so good that I am ready to move on to more "complicated' breads. There are recipes for everything from Beer Bread to Corn Bread to Popovers and even Paleo Bread.If you like the smell and taste of homemade breads i would highly recommend this book. It worked well for me on my first attempt and just the process of making the bread is relaxing and enjoyable. Good book by Jenny Davis.
