| | My Bread: The Revolutionary No-Work, No-Knead Method
By Jim Lahey The founder of New York’s Sullivan Street Bakery, Jim Lahey started a revolution in 2006 with his no-knead dough technique, in which flour, yeast, salt and water are mixed together quickly, left alone for 12 hours, and then baked in a Dutch oven. The baking-averse found themselves suddenly capable of bread-making with a minimum of skill and fuss, opening a world of possibilities. In this wonderful compilation, Lahey elaborates on that method, explaining not only the science behind his approach, but, through liberal use of photos, the technique as well. Lahey’s passion for bread-making informs his plainspoken advice, patient tutelage and straightforward methods that will surely be adopted by chefs and bakers of all stripes. “It’s bread above all that [Lahey] knows and loves. … The man can do wonders with flour and water.” ~Frank Bruni, New York Times List Price: $29.95 *
