Andrew Whitley, organic baker and founder of The Village Bakery,
reveals the deplorable state into which mass produced bread has
fallen, and the secrets behind making good, nutritious bread at
home. All is not well in British baking. Commercial bread is laced
with additives to make it look good and stay soft. It uses
varieties of wheat that have been bred for high yield and baking
performance with little concern for human nutrition. To rush it
through the bakery at the lowest possible cost, it's dosed with
four times as much yeast as before. Described as 'fresh' when it
may have been frozen and re-heated, it's sold as a loss-leader at
knock-down prices which undermine what little respect it may once
have commanded. Even before the Atkins diet frightened people off,
there was evidence of a massive growth of intolerance - to gluten,
wheat and yeast in particular. Call it coincidence. Dismiss it as
hypochondria if you will. But things have come to a pretty pass
when people avoid their staple food - the staff of life - in
droves. 'Bread Matters' offers a solution. Revealing the madness
behind this modern adulteration of our most basic food as only an
insider can, organic baker Andrew Whitley, founder of The Village
Bakery in Melmerby, shows why and how to make real bread at home.
Unlike many bread book authors, he has baked for a living for over
25 years. His recipes are fool-proof because he explains what's
really going on, demystifying the science, sharing a practical
baker's craft. Using the skills he deploys on his popular courses,
he guides and inspires beginners and seasoned bakers alike. And he
brings good news to those who have had to abandon bread because of
dietary sensitivity, showing how to bake tasty and nutritious food
without yeast, wheat or gluten.
