From the Back Cover "Bread is worthy of high praise, from the generous number of recipes to the scientific discussions on pre-ferments. I wish that I had this book to guide me when I started my life as a bread baker 42 years ago. The author's sensibility toward bread and his attitude as a bread baker are evident throughout this book." ―TOSHIO NIHEI, Advisor, Donq, Japan "Bread is the masterwork of bread baking literature. It guides us through the journey that harvested grains make from the milling process to their subsequent interaction in the bakery environment with other ingredients and in the baker's hands, the transformations that take place within the environment of intense oven heat, and up to the final loaves' eventual cooling on racks." ―JIM HAAS, Baker, AgroEast Baking & Milling Co., Ukraine "Jeffrey's book is an ideal companion in the kitchen.
