Bread Baker's Pocket Companion

The Bread Baker's Pocket Companion written by Andrew Jangigian is a portable reference guide for bread bakers and recipe developers. Much of the information it contains is derived from items published on Wordloaf (https://newsletter.wordloaf.org)  the author's bread-centric email newsletter. This handy 7" by 5" book  contains conversions for temperature, ingredients, and flour protein content. Also included: the protein content of common flours, desired dough temperatures, baker's math, information on sourdough started care and feeding, information on folding dough, pre-shaping and shaping loaves, scoring loaves and a nice glossary at the end.

This book is recommended by the instructors of our popular Artisan Breads class and is a great companion for both beginning bread-makers and experienced bakers as well.  Hand-drawn illustrations by Johanna Kindvall
