Well, Bear has given some recommendations on books on breadmaking here
in the past. They might be in this file in the FOOD-BREADS section
of the Florilegium.

breadmaking-msg  (206K) 11/15/01    Period bread recipes and re-creations.

Although certainly less organised than most books, these files in
the same section might be of interest (and they're free):

I suspect that King Arthur Flour may also have some good books.
