Loafing Around — making great bread at home. Written for the home baker by a home baker, Loafing Around aims to not only provide a diverse selection of tested bread recipes, but also describe the processes and techniques involved in enough detail to allow the home baker to develop new recipes with confidence. Loafing Around covers the main types of bread: unleavened bread, soda bread, breads made using baker’s yeast, and sourdough. Recipes use a range of flours, including white and wholemeal wheat, rye, and spelt, and show how to incorporate other ingredients such as seeds, nuts, and fruit. A diverse range of styles is included from classic French and Italian types to Indian roti and naan and South American corn tortillas. Dozens of illustrations expose the processes and techniques involved in making these great breads at home.
