Description

Elizabeth David's English Bread and Yeast Cookery is widely regarded as one of the most comprehensive and authoritative books on bread making ever written.

This classic cookbook covers all aspects of flour-milling, yeast, bread ovens, and the different types of bread and flour available. It includes an extensive collection of recipes, from simple wholemeal bread to more elaborate pastries like croissants, as well as instructions on how to make your own yeast and keep it fresh.

What sets this book apart is its unique blend of practical knowledge, personal anecdotes, and historical insight into the world of bread making. From the history of bread making since ancient times to the dubious practices of some flour millers and bread manufacturers, David's writing style has aged remarkably well, adding to the book's enduring charm.
