Review
“I can truly say that this is the only bread-making book that I have read from beginning to end, like a story. Bonnie takes her pupils by the hand and immerses them in a comprehensive conversation about the bread-making journey. With gentle encouragement, the reader is guided through bite-sized, digestible chunks of simple methodology and techniques. The baker is able to learn as they go. Bonnie masterfully invites the new baker to walk before they can run, starting with straightforward yeasted doughs, then adding inclusions, building ferments, and finally arriving at the recipe for her own bakery’s prized Alchemy Sourdough. Bonnie's book is enabling and easy-to-understand. It’s a must-have for anyone embarking on the enriching and therapeutic endeavor of making good daily bread. How I wish I had begun my journey with this book!”―Tami Isaacs Pearce, owner and bread baker, Karma Bread Bakehouse
“It’s so nice to have a bread book that’s genuine in its commitment to help you succeed! Bonnie’s line in the book that says, “what I hope to do with this book is take you seriously from the start,” is exactly what every home baker wants and needs to hear. Her message is clear: Get back to basics, use your instincts, relish the small victories, make the bread how you want to eat it, create something good, share it. Real bread is attainable. Bread Baking for Beginners is an inviting framework for successful bread-making, and Bonnie is a truly generous host who invites you into her kitchen.”―Jess Wagoner, bread baker and production manager at A&J King Artisan Bakers
“What a sweet joy I found in this book! Bread is the deepest symbol of community, and it is hard to find someone who has baked a more beautiful life than Bonnie O'hara. Here is a knowledgeable teacher, a tender cheerleader, and a joyful friend to teach you how to take the first steps―from building your first yeasted dough to playing with starters. The daunting task of making your own bread seems approachable and warm here, as Bonnie easily mixes anecdotes, bakers’ formulas, pictures of her kids laughing, terminology, and beautiful golden loaves within these pages. More than just for beginners, this book lays the foundation for anyone to become a great bread-maker."―Rose Lawrence, founder of Red Bread and pastry chef at Rustic Canyon
“From her self-made bakery at her home in California to the expertly-written pages of her book, Bonnie shows you how to get started―and succeed at―baking healthy, nutritious bread from your own home. As you make your way through her inspirational and approachable book, don't be surprised if the urge to create your very own home bakery starts to take root!”―Maurizio Leo, baker and founder of ThePerfectLoaf.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for inexperienced bakers
I am only one yr into bread making and feel I still have such a lot to learn. This book is an amazing resource, with easy to follow recipes and photos, great detail to different techniques, terminology and calculations when baking bread. I can't wait to make almost every single recipe in this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great cookbook
Very easy to follow 👌 simple instructions I'm excited to try all the recipes.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great step by step starter
GF uses this and her baking bread is awesome, be warned, you will have to buy a bunch of supporting tools/utensils - but all totally worth it.Updating my boyfriend's review, because I feel it was inadequate. :)Yes, there's a lot of equipment needed, however if you visit Bonnie's website she gives you a list (with links) so you can review prior to purchasing. You can find everything you need on Bolo for a reasonable price, I also used the opportunity to replace some of my existing kitchen tools.The book itself is well written and easy to follow. I love the way it is written so that you build upon the skills learned in the previous recipes, it really enables you to develop your skills and build upon those as you go along. I have not finished the book yet, but I'm about halfway through and everything has turned out AMAZING! This book and Bonnie's technique really teach you the importance of precise measurements/temperatures in baking. Prior to starting her book, I always took a lackadaisical approach to baking and just kind of winged it as I went along. Some things worked well, others did not. Now I know that if I just follow directions with precision (LOL) the recipe will work every time.Do yourself a favor, buy the book, enjoy it, enjoy ALL THE BREAD! Also, be sure to follow Bonnie on Instagram for extra tips and technique. Watching her shape bread is mesmerizing!
4.0 out of 5 stars Needs a bit of tweaking
Great book. I read most of it in one night. You will see certain recipes carry over instructions from ones previously because it’s standard operation of bread proofing, rising, etc. I would like to know a few nuances such as what size Dutch oven, should the Dutch oven be oiled before dumping the yeast in (I sure will, but it doesn’t say on the recipes), and when adding flour should it be added a little at a time or just dumped all in? It’s possible I could have missed some of these prior to reading the recipes, but it would be helpful to know while reading the recipes. I would like to know the how’s and why’s such as: why whole milk, and can 2% be subbed, can margarine be subbed for butter, etc? It’s small things like this that I feel are really important to know for beginners. Overall, it’s worth a purchase, but if you are really really new I’d do a bit more research outside of the book.
5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE LOVE LOVE this book!
I love to cook and bake but was always hesitant to try making bread... “there’s no way I’d be good at it.. I don’t have an expensive mixer... I’m not skilled enough..” That was until I found this book. Bonnie, in my opinion, is the perfect person to write a bread baking book for beginners because she is a self taught bread baker who only started about 10 years ago! She is so thoughtful in the way she eases you into the process of making bread by starting you off with easier loaves and gradually working you up until you feel comfortable. She also give you tips and tricks on ways to bake with items you most likely already have in your kitchen so you’re not having to spend a ton of money on supplies right away. My favorite part is that all the recipes are made by hand (no expensive mixer needed) which I have found I LOVE so much better. Not to mention her style of writing which made me feel as though a friend was writing to me and encouraging me “.. let the dough rest for 20 minutes and go enjoy a cup of tea..” 😊If you want to learn to bake bread, buy this book! My friends and family are so glad I did as we haven’t had to buy store bought bread since I started! Bread baking does take time, patience and practice. However, shouldn’t we have to work at some things to be good at it?? Not to mention... even my “not so good loaves” are still delicious, there are some recipes that allow for 8 and 12 hour rises to fit better in busy days, and Bonnie provides even more tips, tricks and advice on her instagram page.Oh and to the people upset about the measurements being in grams... yes, you’re right, we do live in America.. but there are also these things called scales (they sell them in America!) you just push a button and it switches over so you can weigh in grams 😲

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for bread baking beginners!
I ordered this book recently after several attempts to make sourdough. I knew I needed some help and this book did just that! It has so many other recipes for all types of bread that I am looking forward to trying as well! Very helpful, highly reccomend!
5.0 out of 5 stars Enormous amount of information - easy to understand format
Really like this book. Have been working through it with my son (11yo)... we are learning to bake together. It is easy to follow and understand.
Love the recipes
Perfect book for beginners. I have baking experience but I love the detailed descriptions and photos
Te encantará este libro, sus explicaciones son muy fáciles de seguir,
Debería haber comprado este libro en primer lugar, en lugar de los otros dos. Si solo está aprendiendo o tal vez sabe un poco sobre cómo hornear pan, primero debe comprar este libro. Recomiendo de todo corazón este libro. Me encanta.
Excelente guia passo a passo
O livro me surpreendeu positivamente. A autora usa uma abordagem de desenvolvimento passo a passo, começando com os pães mais simples, sem sova, eventualmente chegando nos levain (i.e. fermentação espontânea). As receitas funcionam, e têm ainda a vantagem de trazer as medidas em gramas.
A good book for beginners
Whether you are new to bread making or you have been making bread for some time there are some interesting recipes that will inspire the reader to maybe try something new.
