Every kitchen comes equipped with a fundamental, dependable
cookbook classic such as Joy of Cooking or Better Homes &
Gardens New Cookbook. Now bakers have a modern classic of their
own. From leavening, mixing, proofing, and kneading, through
shaping and baking, the experts at King Arthur Flour lead you
through hundreds of easy and foolproof recipes from tricky yeast
breads and sourdoughs, to trendy flatbreads and crackers, to family
favorites such as pancakes and waffles. They also present fried
doughs, quick breads, batter breads, biscuits, quiches, cobblers
and crisps, cookies, cakes, brownies, pies, tarts, and pastries.
For more than 200 years King Arthur Flour has been in the business
of making the highest quality key ingredient in all of baking:
flour. They've done decades of experimentation and research in
their famous test kitchens on how the various ingredients in baked
goods behave and why. The King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion now
brings you more than 350 recipes that will teach you which
ingredients work together, as well as what doesn't, and why. It is
this knowledge that will allow you to unleash your own creativity
and to experiment in the kitchen. You'll get a complete overview of
ingredients in chapters on flours, sweeteners, leavens, fats, and
more. You'll find information on substitutions and variations, as
well as troubleshooting advice from the pros at King Arthur.
Recipes are enhanced with sidebars that share baking secrets and
provide clear-step-by-step instructions, and each recipe is
accompanied by a detailed nutritional analysis. Techniques are
further explained with easy-to-follow illustrations by culinary
illustrator Laura Hartman Maestro. The King Arthur Flour Baker's
Companion is the definitive kitchen resource. Exhaustive in scope,
authoritative in style, and offering clear, practical, and
encouraging instruction, it is the one book you'll turn to every
time you bake. Like your set of measuring cups and favorite wooden
spoon, it will become an essential kitchen tool. No kitchen in
America should be without a copy.
