01
Flour Water Salt Yeast - Ken Forkish
the overnight country blonde recipe is the one I turn to when I don't trust my starter yet. clearest instructions of the bunch.
02
Tartine Bread - Chad Robertson
more meandering than Forkish's book but the basic country loaf method is the one I actually learned the fold technique from.
03
Bread - Jeffrey Hamelman
widest range of formulas here, reach for it when I want something that isn't a country loaf (feed it first, obviously)
04
The Bread Baker's Apprentice - Peter Reinhart
05
My Bread - Jim Lahey
the no-knead method that got a lot of people into this in the first place. good gateway book, not the one I'd buy second.
06
Open Crumb Mastery - Trevor Wilson
self-published, dense, borderline academic about hydration and shaping. crumb shot or it didn't happen and this is finally why mine do
07
The Rye Baker - Stanley Ginsberg
