by Alan Scott, Daniel Wing

Praise

"This book is ice cream for a baker! We visit legendary bakeries, meet wonderful people, learn all sorts of fascinating scientific information with practical usefulness in bowl and oven--and best of all, get the skinny on masonry ovens, that cherished fantasy of us all."

—Laurel Robertson, author of Laurel's Kitchen

"Wing and Scott do more than get the details right: they get the right details. It is difficult for me to imagine any baker, amateur or professional, coming away from this book without having learned something significant, even profound, about the art of bread baking."

—Thom Leonard, author of The Bread Book

"I found [The Bread Builders] to be so helpful in my thinking—it is a totally brilliant book. . . . I treasure this book"

—Rose Levy Beranbaum, author of The Bread Bible and The Cake Bible
