The Village Baker

A technique-driven guide to artisanal bread baking, this volume draws on traditional methods from regional baking cultures across Europe and America. Aimed at dedicated home bakers and serious enthusiasts, it focuses on the craft of making rustic, hand-crafted breads in the style of village and country bakers rather than industrial production. The book is notable for its grounding in old-world baking traditions, offering both practical instruction and cultural context for the breads it presents.
