      Had to use up some fresh yeast, so I deviated from my current sourdough bread baking. This recipe makes a good loaf for toasts and sandwiches, keeps well. Used one large tin instead of two medium ones as instructed, had to double baking time and cover tin with some foil after 20 minutes.

  • Toasted pine nut, honey and pear croustades

      These were fantastic. I wasn't sure about the dough, as it didn't seem as "wet" as I was expecting during the initial mixing and kneading, but the end result was excellent. For laminated dough, the process was actually pretty simple, and the directions were very clear. Lots of steps with poaching the pears and cutting the lattice pattern, but they turned out beautifully and delicious. I scaled back the pine nuts, as it seemed like that would be WAY too many (and they're not cheap!). I actually split the dough in half and made the cinnamon knots from the same cookbook with the other half - and they were great too!

Bread can be open and airy or compact and dense - it is all about the 'crumb' which characterises particular styles of loaf. In this inspiring new book, Richard Bertinet shares his hallmark straightforward approach to making bread through every step of the process, including the various techniques of fermenting, mixing, kneading and baking.

Richard shows you how to make everything from classic and rustic breads to sourdough using different flours and ferments. Learn how to bake a range of delicious sweet and savory recipes from Manchego & Chorizo Cornbread, Seaweed & Sel Gris Rolls and Chickpea Flatbreads to Orange & Cardamom Swirls and Cinnamon Buns. There are also options for gluten-free breads and the best bakes to improve your gut-health by experimenting with different types of flour. Finally, Richard shares ideas for cooking with bread and creams, syrups and purées to enjoy alongside or incorporate into your bakes. With stunning step-by-step photography, simple advice and helpful techniques throughout,

Crumb will inspire and fill everyone, whatever their experience, with the confidence to bake an exciting repertoire of breads.
