King Arthur Company to transform the baking industry with the release of ‘The Big Book of Bread’

USA – King Arthur Baking Company, a revered name in American baking, is poised to transform the home bread-baking experience with the release of its new book, The Big Book of Bread.

Scheduled to launch on October 22, through Simon Element, this comprehensive guide promises to answer every question home bakers may have about breadmaking.

With a legacy that spans more than two centuries, King Arthur has consistently provided bakers with premium flour and baking ingredients, and now aims to share its deep expertise in breadmaking through this long-awaited publication.

The book offers more than just recipes; it’s a masterclass for bakers of all levels, covering essential techniques and best practices for crafting everything from the simplest loaves to complex artisan breads.

The Big Book of Bread features 125 meticulously curated recipes for yeasted and naturally leavened breads.

According to the company, whether you’re a novice or an advanced baker, the book offers something for everyone, including flatbreads like focaccia and naan, classic sourdough baguettes, and “fancy” creations such as baklava babka.

Beyond bread, it also includes inventive ways to use bread in other dishes, such as cheddar kimchi strata and sourdough lasagna.

Each recipe is accompanied by stunning, full-color photography and step-by-step instructions, making even the most complex techniques accessible to all readers.

Additionally, QR codes are scattered throughout the book, linking to instructional videos filmed in King Arthur’s test kitchen, providing a dynamic learning experience. From folding and shaping dough to managing fermentation, readers are given expert advice to ensure success in every bake.

Claire Saffitz, author of the New York Times bestsellers Dessert Person and What’s for Dessert, praised the book for its ability to combine expert-level information with an approachable style.

 “It can be hard to find a bread book that is as authoritative and comprehensive as it is accessible and easy to follow, but the Big Book of Bread checks every box,” Saffitz said.

The wide breadth of recipes covers everything from flatbreads and buns to babkas to baguettes, with plenty of creative touches throughout.”

Founded in 1790, King Arthur Baking Company holds the distinction of being America’s oldest flour company.

What began as an importer of European flour has evolved into a leading supplier of baking ingredients, tools, and education.

The company is recognized for its commitment to sustainability and was awarded a B Corporation certification for meeting rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.

The Big Book of Bread continues this tradition of excellence by offering not only delicious recipes but also the educational tools to elevate any home baker’s skill set.

As the holiday season approaches, The Big Book of Bread is expected to be a favorite among baking enthusiasts, making it an ideal gift for anyone looking to enhance their bread-baking repertoire.
