SC - Bread Book

[Decker, Terry D.]

David, Elizabeth, English Bread and Yeast Cookery; The Viking Press, New
York, 1980.  ISBN 0-670-29653-8.  This is the American Edition with notes by
Karen Hess.  The original English edition was published in 1977.

There is a hardbound version currently in print from another publisher, but
I don't know if Hess' notes are included.   The book covers flour, yeast and
the other ingredients for baking, a brief history of bread, ovens, bread and
cake tins, basic bread recipes, baps, rolls, historic bread recipes, yeast
cakes, regional breads and cakes, dessert breads and soda breads.  

This is the closest thing I have found to a baker's bible.  If you are a
baker, buy a hardbound copy.  It will get a lot of use.
