Submitted by KansasGirlStuck... on January 9, 2010 - 1:46pm Looking for suggestionsI got a Barnes and Noble giftcard for Christmas and I am thinking about using it to get a new bread book. I am looking for suggestions on books. I already have Bread Baker's Apprentice and Rose Levy Beranbaum's Bread Bible. To give you an idea of my style - from TFL I have made and added to my repetoire:
Yup, I am kind of all over the place. I don't have much specialized equipment, though I do have a great baking stone, a nice peel and firmly believe in parchment paper. So what is your MUST have book that you turn to time and time again?

Bread Baking: An Artisan's Perspective - Hardcover (Feb 24, 2009) by Daniel T. DiMuzio
I vote for
Peter Reinhart's, Artisan Breads Everyday. I also have, The BBA. I enjoy them both and wouldn't trade either of them. :)
Check out this book

Hi, kansasgirlstuck:
Check out this book: Professional Baking by Wayne Gisslen. Borders and Amazon.com both carry it. It covers the scope of baking and has excellent sections on everything including breads. It's a go-to-book and is also use by (required by) several culiinary schools for their baking classes.
PS: Bakewise by Shirley O. Corriher is, so I've been told, a good baking book which offers not only the hows, but the whys. Also carried by Borders and Amazon.com. Those I know who have this book seem to really like it. I recently received this book from Santa; haven't had time to really get into it, but what I've read is interesting and informative. This book may be what you are looking for.
Good luck and happy baking.
