Tartine Bread: (Artisan Bread Cookbook, Best Bread Recipes, Sourdough Book)

Product Information

I would just like to mention a few books here below that helped my father out when he started baking. I’m not going to get into details about each one. Just know that these are great books with tons of information and are geared for serious and professional bakers. You can learn a lot about baking formulas and techniques: mixing, proofing and other basic information that is important to know. Since its first publication in 2004, this book has earned many fans of both professional and home bakers. The book teaches you techniques of substitution, such as substituting different types of flours and their effects on the final product.

Tartine Bread Recipe - Make Bread At Home Tartine Bread Recipe - Make Bread At Home

About 30 minutes before baking, place a Dutch oven or lidded cast-iron pot in the oven and heat it to 500 degrees. Dust tops of dough, still in their baskets, with whole-wheat/rice-flour mixture. Very carefully remove heated pot from oven and gently turn 1 loaf into pan seam-side down. Use a lame (a baker’s blade) or razor blade to score the top of the bread a few times to allow for expansion, cover and transfer to oven. Reduce temperature to 450 degrees and cook for 20 minutes. Carefully remove lid (steam may release) and cook for 20 more minutes or until crust is a rich, golden brown color. If you want to understand the whole chemistry, the ins-and-outs of sourdough bread-baking from Tartine's perspective and with its history weaved in, then it's a beautiful, lengthy, well-illustrated read for that purpose. Tech geek turned pro baker Ken Forkish helps beginners understand complex concepts, including baker’s percentages, and creates a workable timeline for making bread. Throughout the book, he explains the reasoning behind tips like using warm water, folding dough, and fermenting in the refrigerator. This is not simply a recipe book; it's a thorough introduction to bread baking, helping anyone make exceptional loaves at home. Bread making the Tartine Now it's your turn to make this bread with your own hands. Clear instructions and hundreds of step-by-step photos put you by Chad's side as he shows you how to make exceptional and elemental bread using just flour, water, and salt.The bread machine is kind of a miracle for busy bakers: Just load it with ingredients, press a few buttons, and walk away.A few hours later, you'll have a warm, freshly baked loaf of bread. But bread machines' instruction manuals usually only include a handful of different recipes, obscuring the incredible versatility the countertop appliance offers. At the end of the day, when you are about to make a choice, the bigger the selection the harder the choice. All these books are filled with techniques, theories, recipes, and beautiful promising illustrations. It can be overwhelming. We continue with the health trend in this book By Andrew Whitley who preaches the benefits of making healthy bread at home instead of buying bread of mass production. Tartine sourdough, also known as country bread, is a type of bread made popular by Chad Robertson, owner of the Tartine bakery in San Francisco, California. I have to say It is very fun to hear how Lepard learned the different techniques or recipes over the years, where and from whom, it certainly adds enjoyment and personal touch to the book.

The book covers a wide range of techniques, concepts, ingredients, and guides the reader can follow step by step on the way to the perfect loaf of bread. Chicago chef Greg Wade earned fame (and a 2019 James Beard Award) running Publican Quality Bread, and now he's put his recipes into book form for all to enjoy. These are fairly advanced, professional-level breads, but Wade and his co-author Rachel Holtzman do a good job of explaining how and why you perform each step, with tips on adjusting the formulas for your kitchen's conditions. I must admit that the recipes are way too detailed up to the level that sometimes it seems exaggerated. In general it is not such an easy-to-read book and it is recommended for bakers who already have experience at home and know a thing or two about baking bread, otherwise, the book may feel a little intimidating but those who will push thru and continue reading will find themselves getting better and better with their baking.Tartine Bread is a brilliant book, which gives the reader tons of relevant information, such as how to tweak the taste of the bread you bake, from mild to fully sour (I prefer mild), or the differences between flours and how they react. I followed his Basic Sourdough loaf recipe and I must admit it worked better than the one I had done previously, and has become my ‘go to’ one. Once you’re ok with this, you can then go on to more challenging variants, which I shall be trying.

Tartine Bread - Kindle edition by Robertson, Chad, Eric Tartine Bread - Kindle edition by Robertson, Chad, Eric

With 150 extremely detailed recipes—40 for sourdough alone—"Bread" is like a technical manual for bakers wanting to master all aspects of bread-making. Especially helpful is all the visual guidance in the book, including diagrams and instructions for shaping loaves, scoring, and braiding. This 2021 third edition (the first edition came out in 2004) adds an "International Contributors" section, with local bread recipes from 10 chefs on five continents. If you had a positive experience out of this book you are welcome to continue forward with Tartine Book No.3, But keep in mind that the challenge is bigger, the recipes are more complex and the ingredients are harder to come by at times.The next morning, preheat your oven to 500 degrees F and set either a Dutch oven or combo cooker into the oven as well. However amazing, I still fear that if you come to this book without any basic knowledge, it might overwhelm you. Therefore, I would recommend watching a series of YouTube videos introducing you to sourdough, such as Baker Bettie’s ( https://bakerbettie.com/understanding...), and then try Robertson’s. If photographs/words don’t really work for you, another blogger/YouTuber, The Regular Chef, has filmed this very same recipe, showing you all the steps clearly ( https://theregularchef.com/basic-sour...). This Tartine bread recipe calls for three days of dedicated work, but if you’ve put in the time, you’ll find that it will be worth every second! The book was first published in 1985, but this 2021 edition has added tons of online content, including links to technique videos, quizzes, pronunciation guides, and more. I'm not really going to read this entire book. It's basically designed as a coffee table book replete with beautiful pictures of details of bread-making. Robertson tells a bit about his history in baking, but without sufficient detail or drama to be really interesting. Then there are recipes. But the thing about learning to cook in the youtube era is this: a good book can't possibly compete with a halfway decent video, when one's hope is to learn new techniques. I learned to make a decent Tartine-style round loaf from "The Regular Chef," who credits and promotes this book:

Tartine: Revised Edition: A Classic Revisited: 68 All-New

We also post our favorite tasty recipes and step-by-step guides for everything from sourdough bagels to French croissants; brioche donuts to banana bread. In the book, he explains in a simple way how to make bread at home. The book is full of recipes and short demo videos that can be scanned through the QR code.This 15th-anniversary edition of the book adds a few updates (including metric-to-imperial conversion charts), but it's been a classic since it was first released for its engaging, clear, and accessible guide to the advanced biochemistry and cooking techniques involved in baking flawless loaves of bread. I had to deduce that all by myself and fail hard the first few times, as for example my first loaves got ready for baking around 3am, so by the time I actually got to baking them, they turned into a deflated mess.
