I received today my copy of the European version of Dan Lepards "The Handmade Loaf". This is the paperback version but it's much nicer than what I would call a paperback, and larger with beautiful photos. The thing that attracted me to this book was the post that others have done on a Black Pepper Rye which I made and loved. Unfortunately that particular recipe isn't included in this version. But now that I know about it and have visited the author's web site this is not an issue.

As I page through the book, many delicious and unusual breads are tempting me to be first. This is going to be fun.
