Of course I don\u2019t have three books, I have loads of bread books, they are all good in certain ways, but lets be honest they cover a lot of the same ground. So I decided to write this about the three books you really need, with these three you\u2019ve got a lot of the bases covered that will help you develop your understanding and skill as a bread baker. These three books will get you baking the best bread you can.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">1.\u00a0 The professional view point,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Bread-Bakers-Book-Techniques-Recipes\/dp\/1118132718\/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=bread+hamelman&amp;qid=1600758630&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\">Bread by Jeffrey Hamelman<\/span><\/a>. Unlike most books this is written by a professional baker from a professional baking point of view. Technical explanations of mixers, ovens, doughs and techniques you\u2019ll find in bakeries. If you want to move on from being the person who knocks out a half decent loaf every now and then to someone with a deeper understanding this is the book for you. It also has a great range of formulas for all sorts of breads.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">2.\u00a0 The Love of bread view point,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Handmade-Loaf-started-baking-revolution\/dp\/1784723347\/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=The+handmade+loaf&amp;qid=1600758666&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\">The Handmade Loaf, by Dan Lepard.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0Dan writes as someone who loves what he does, a rich technical understanding is imparted along side a deep sense of a desire to learn and discover more.

However, he\u2019s also responsible for so many bakeries, people like me who thumbed through his book and thought I wasn&#8217;t to make bread like that.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t invent this type of bread, he evolved it from countless other bakers bread, but he did popularise it, he did make it main stream. I wonder how many bakeries opened because of this book?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">I\u2019d like to give an honourable mention to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/modernistcuisine.com\/books\/modernist-bread\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\">Modernist Bread<\/span><\/a>, its great and a fascinating and valuable project, but at around \u00a3400 I can\u2019t really put it on the list.
