توضیحات

Every morning for six years I weighed out a scoop of something called improver, tipped it into the bowl, and never once asked what was in it.Years later I opened the bag. Eleven separate things. Enzymes, oxidants, emulsifiers, a reducing agent, a preservative. Every one of them standing in for the same thing, and it was never a secret ingredient. It was time.This book is what I found, and what I know how to make without any of it.It starts on the bench at four in the morning, where I started at fifteen. Then it goes after the bread itself. What roller milling stripped out of flour in the 1860s and where the good part went. What the Chorleywood process did in 1961 when it cut six to eight hours of fermentation down to three. What each of those eleven compounds actually does in a dough, one at a time, in plain language, and what you lose by leaving it out. I am not going to tell you they will hurt you. I am going to show you what they are standing in for.Then the part almost nobody knows. Three separate exemptions in Australian food law mean a bread label can be fully compliant, checked, signed off, and still never mention most of what went in the bowl. Compliant was never the same word as honest.And then it hands you the loaves.More than thirty recipes rebuilt from named ingredients instead of a bag. White, wholemeal, rye, spelt, ciabatta, baguettes, pane di casa, cape seed, tiger, continental, sourdough, sweet fruit doughs, scones, the Boston bun, and the cheese and bacon pull-apart off every bakery shelf in the country.Inside:The whole sourdough section. Start one from flour and water, feed it, and know what the false start on day four actually is so you do not throw out a jar that was working. Four levers that change your loaf, and the age myth taken apart with the actual studies named and dated.Baker's percentages taught properly, so you can scale any formula, build your own loaf from five decisions, and never be stuck with a recipe that only works at one size.What ready feels like. Not a clock. What the dough tells your hands at the mix, at each fold, at the end of bulk, and the finger test that ends the guessing at the proof.Scoring, from a trade bench. Why we cut, the angle, the depth, and how the cut changes when the dough in front of you is underproofed or overproofed.Steam, stones and the oven, including how to get real steam into a domestic oven with things you already own.Twenty faults, what caused each one, and what to do differently next time. Plus a one page chart to stick on the cupboard door.Every study named and dated. Every contested claim points somewhere you can check it yourself.One thing said straight. If you have coeliac disease, this is not your book, and no amount of slow fermentation makes wheat bread safe for you. There is a trial in here that proves it, and my gluten free book is the one to buy instead.Bread was always going to cost somebody time. The only question is who pays it, and when.Luke McConachy spent six years in bakeries, starting at fifteen, and more than four years at his local pub making the breakfasts and the roast of the day. He is not a food writer. He is a baker who read the bag.
