In this new book by Father Dominic ( The Bread Monk of public television fame), you'll learn more than just basic techniques you'll ?nd out why yeast behaves the way it does, how to substitute different flours in a recipe, and how to take a simple dough and make it extraordinary for a special occasion.Starting with tools of the trade (you need less than you think), Father Dom takes you through the baby steps of baking all the way to beautiful loaves that will amaze and delight your family and friends. Special attention is paid to kneading a stumbling block for many beginning bakers and simple shaping techniques that can make your loaves look terri?c.
