The two most successful baking books of all time – in an exclusive double edition. Over 300,000 copies of the books "Baking Bread to Perfection with Yeast" and "Baking Bread to Perfection with Sourdough" have already inspired countless people to bake bread at home. Thanks to precise, practical recipes, even beginners can create loaves that are only found in a few select bakeries in terms of flavor, appearance, and digestibility. The only requirements are a regular oven, some flour, salt, and yeast – a kneading machine is helpful but not necessary. Lutz Geissler demonstrates with his carefully tested recipes how to achieve a perfect crumb and crust through slow dough handling and reduced yeast amounts, all with minimal effort, just like in traditional handcraft with ample time. From crispy rye breads to perfect baguettes and pretzels, as well as sweet delights like brioche: in 130 recipes, baking enthusiasts will discover the most beautiful and popular bread classics made with yeast and sourdough in the best quality – all collected in one of the most beautifully designed baking books ever. You can expect a very high-quality presentation: - Linen-look cover - Embossing - Two ribbon bookmarks - Belly band.
