Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Butter layered buns

    • jumali on January 14, 2015

      I wish I knew what I did wrong with this one. I measured the flour by weight, but the dough was very wet. I baked the buns an extra 10 minutes but were still gummy inside. Virtually no flavor.

  • Hamburger and hot dog buns

    • swegener on January 17, 2015

      Light and fluffy, but ended up more flat than I would have liked and less brown. I may raise the oven temp next batch of rolls!

Publishers Text

From the simplest dinner rolls to traditional croissants and all types of yeast breads in between, home cooks even those short on time and skill--CAN bake fresh bread from scratch. How is this possible? By breaking the process into two separate steps, with the mixing and kneading done the day before and the baking done the next day. And the best part? Not only does this make bread baking much easier to fit into a busy schedule, but it also results in a better finished bread product. The make-ahead bread concept focuses on a long, slow rise, so that the dough rests for a day or two, allowing it to develop flavor (called fermentation by pro bakers). This means that home cooks no longer have to be a slave to their kitchen when they have dough resting. Instead, they could be at work, playing with their kids, sleeping or doing anything they want. Make Ahead Bread features 100 yeast bread recipes that benefit from the long rise method so that home cooks can have freshly baked bread whenever they want it, any day of the week. In addition, cooks will find recipes for homemade butters, spreads, and sauces as well as recipes for using up leftover bread.
