I got the chance to review an electronic version of this cookbook through NetGalley. I enjoyed the electronic version so much that I bought a hard copy for my cookbook library.When I’m teaching, my days are long, busy, and there isn’t really time to bake bread…or at least I didn’t think there was…till I read Make Ahead Bread.With Make Ahead Bread I now know I can make bread and enjoy the yeasty scent of baking bread any time I want to. Make Ahead Bread includes 100 recipes for bread that can be mixed up one day, left to rise overnight, and baked the next. Approached this way, just about anyone can have fresh home baked bread any time they want it.Loaf breads, buns, rolls, breadsticks, pastries, flat breads, even tortillas, they’re all in this wonderful book.What’s even better is the way the recipes are organized on the page. This part is genius! Each recipe features a description of the recipe and an ingredient list. The preparation instructions are broken down into prep day tasks and bake day tasks so it is very easy to see what to do, when to do it, how and where to let the bread rise, when to shape it, and so on.Make Ahead Bread isn’t just for simple, plain, loaves.
