Crumb: Show The Dough Who's Boss Richard Bertinet Cookbook
Show the Dough who’s Boss
‘All it takes to make bread is flour, water and salt. To make great bread, add a little Bertinet.’ Pierre Koffmann
‘Richard never ceases to amaze me with his writing and effortless skills as a baker… whenever I am with him for a coffee, a bite to eat or teaching with him, I always come away with new knowledge… a bread genius.’ Angela Hartnett
‘If you only have one book about how to make bread, this should really be it.’ Nathan Outlaw
Bread can be open and airy or compact and dense – it is all about the ‘crumb’ which characterises particular styles of loaf. In this inspiring new book, Richard Bertinet shares his hallmark straightforward approach to making bread through every step of the process, including the various techniques of fermenting, mixing and working – never ‘kneading’ – the dough.
Richard shows you how to make everything from classic and rustic breads to sourdough using different flours and ferments. Learn how to bake a range of delicious sweet and savoury recipes from Cornbread with Manchego Cheese & Chorizo, Saffron & Seaweed Buns and Green Pea Flatbreads to Chocolate, Pistachio & Orange Loaf and Cinnamon Knots. There are also options for gluten-free breads and the best bakes to improve your gut-health by experimenting with different types of flour. Finally, Richard shares ideas for cooking with bread for delicious tartines or mouthwatering Brioche Ice Cream.
With stunning step-by-step photography, simple advice and helpful techniques throughout, Crumb will inspire and fill everyone, whatever their experience, with the confidence to bake an exciting repertoire of breads.
Richard Bertinet set up his Bertinet Kitchen in 2005 and Bertinet Bakery in 2011 and his bread is now widely available at farmshops, delis and Waitrose across the south of the UK. He trained as a baker in his native Brittany and has over 20 years' experience as a chef and baker who teaches principally in his own school in Bath. His first two books won numerous awards both in the UK and the US including IACP Cookery Book of the Year and James Beard Award.
Hardback 345 pages.
