Crumbs!

OVER 40 RECIPES, INCLUDING INDIAN BREADS! There’s something undeniably pleasurable about tearing into a soft, hot naan or biting into the light puffiness of a freshly baked brioche, but have you ever thought how wonderful it might be to make them yourself? In Crumbs! Saee Koranne-Khandekar recounts her journey of becoming a bread-maker (initial blunders notwithstanding), and hand-holds the average yeast-fearing, dough-despairing home cook through the deliciously satisfying experience of literally putting bread on their tables. Bite into this book for • the complete lowdown on the behaviour of yeast, varieties of Indian flours and their gluten strengths; • thorough guidance on techniques – from kneading and shaping to proofing and baking; • step-by-step recipes for making a variety of breads and accompaniments; • fascinating stories about the history of bread and some of the oldest, most popular bakeries across the country. Illustrated with stunning photographs, this sumptuous book is a delightful introduction to the art of making bread.
