Praise for Fundamental Techniques of Classic Bread Baking:
â€œThe only bread-baking book youâ€™ll ever knead.â€â€”Justin Chapple, Food & Wine

Â

â€œThe supremely technical bread book of the year is The Fundamental Techniques of Classic Bread Baking by Judith Choate and the breadologists at the French Culinary Institute. . . . No doubt one could learn much about the art of dough from cooking their way through it. But also, holy bread porn!â€ â€”Eater.comÂ

â€œThere are other bread books, some very good ones. But The French Culinary Instituteâ€™s The Fundamental Techniques of Classic Bread Baking is in a class of its own. The instructions are clear, the photography is wonderful, and recipes for virtually every classic bread are included. The bookâ€™s greatest virtue is its sensible organization, which makes it perfect for the self-teacher.â€Â
â€”Mark H. Furstenberg, Owner of Bread Furst

Â

â€œTo make a perfect loaf of bread, the baker needs just five essential ingredients: flour, water, salt, yeastâ€”and this indispensable book!â€
â€”Iacopo Falai, Owner of Falai, Caffe Falai, and Falai Panetteria

Â

â€œThe Fundamental Techniques of Classic Bread Baking is an essential reference book for every bread baker, from novice to seasoned professional. The rich array of information shared by the French Culinary Institute is based on knowledge that is deeply rooted in experience and tradition. The beautiful photos of well-made bread, with dark crusts and irregular holes, will raise the standards of â€˜good breadâ€™ for bakers everywhere.â€
â€”Amy Scherber, Owner of Amyâ€™s Bread
