This book considers many different ways to make bread. It names breads including sourdough, bannock, and bao, and describes possible ingredients such as white, whole-wheat, or corn flour. A baker might use water or milk, perhaps with eggs, and add ingredients in varying amounts. The book presents breadmaking as a process with many possible choices rather than a single fixed method.
