The Bread Baker's Apprentice:
Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread
Customer Review
This is an expensive book worth every penny. Reinhart will show you how to bake bread even if you've never baked anything that didn't come out of a can and if you are an experienced baker, Reinhart will strengthen your understanding of how bread is made.
His explanation of the science of how bread is mixed, baked and even tasted is definitive and clearly written. The section on shaping dough is aptly photographed and understandable. It is, by far, the clearest description of shaping dough found in the current crop of baking books.

- Nice recipe and my 29 years as a baker tells me it should make a very good ciabatta. Sponge and dough method always makes a better tasting bread.
