No one can resist the delicious, wholesome, and comforting smell of home-baking. The Baker’s Bible is the ultimate guide to baking, packed with hundreds of delicious recipes that combine the traditional with a more innovative approach. Within its pages you’ll find time-honored classics such as chocolate brownies, muffins, cornbreads, and bagels, as well as more exotic recipes from further afield–Iced Mazurek from Poland, and Persian Pancakes. The Baker’s Bible covers every aspect of baking, bringing together mouthwatering recipes for special occasions and festivals from around the world. Try Danish Carnival Buns and May Day cookies from Finland or Jewish “Lekach”–New Year’s Cake. The range of breads is vast and sumptuous. All the grains under the sun are used–mixed grain, wheatgerm, Swedish rye, and there are sweet breads baked with spices, nuts, and fruits. Then there are the pastries: almond, choux, feuilletees, filo, and flaky–it’s all here.
