“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
“An uncomplicated explanation of a complicated subject. Clear and encouraging, this wonderful book will inspire confidence in those ready to bake their own bread at home.”―Rachel Frost, senior bread baker at Della Fattoria

5.0 out of 5 stars For anyone who has considered baking bread and the tasty creations you can make.
If you have ever wanted to learn how to make bread this is the book for you. The writing is clear and easy to read, and the instructions spot on. You don't need to have made some kind of bread in your earlier life; this will walk you thru it. Plenty of photos, advice, tips and why you need the tips. You start off with a straightforward bread that requires no kneading. As you get further thru the book, you continue to use the instructions you had finished with the one bread and build onto different recipes and how you achieve them. It is a tutorial and contains everything you need to get started, including tools and tips and reasons why things are done. When you get to the next recipe, you can use what you just learned to get started and she walks you thru it in detail and I can't wait to get started. The more complex breads that require kneading come much later. One caveat: The writer explains the process at which you have to provide warm water for your yeast, and shows you how to figure out the temperature of your kitchen, your flour and how much temperature can really affect the success of your bread, your proofing, the rising and when to handle your dough. And if you are a fan of The Great British Baking Show, it will suddenly clarify to you why all those bakers had under-cooked, over-cooked, under proved, over-proved, wet dough, dry dough, non-airy dough, unrisen dough burned crust or uncooked crust tragedies. Get the spiral bound version, makes it to easy to read and bake without hammering your binding.

This book is great. Easy to follow instructions, recipes are really good. Highly recommend for a beginner like me.
5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommend
A good friend of mine recommended this book as it helped him learn how to make bread fairly quickly and easily. It's written in a way that makes it easy for novices to understand and explains everything you need to know about baking. A great book for beginners.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good for true beginners
I've been making my own sourdough for a while. There is good information in this book. The emphasis on temperature and texture were helpful. The book itself is good quality, the printing is good, no missing pages.I found the recipes to be repetitive, which I'm sure is intentional for beginners. I wish there was more information in the sections on "what went wrong" at the end of the chapters. I also found the instructions to shape a batard confusing and wish there were illustrations that went along with that.Overall this is a good book for beginners who are interested leaning how to make bread. You will need a gram (or postal or kitchen) scale, everything else can be improvised.
5.0 out of 5 stars Recipes, Methods and charm! 10/10
Great for starting your sourdough journey, as it’s clearly written. Explains everything really well and includes several unique recipes from a real woman-owned bakery as well as tips and tricks, plus some charm.Bought one for myself and then bought one as a gift.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book but don't buy the paperback
I am a beginner and this is great. I love that she explains all the steps and really takes you step by step through the recipe. Be sure to read the intro. But don't buy the paperback. I bought the paperback and it fell apart during the first use. I returned it and bought the hardback.
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 😲
3.0 out of 5 stars Book content is good but the binding is terrible!
The media could not be loaded. Starting with the complaint - the binding completely came apart with loose pages falling out, I ordered a replacement and it too ended up falling apart at the seams. At this point idk what to do, I like the book but shouldn’t be force use a book with such low physical quality. As far as the author and the contents of the book, it was very easy to follow, very well thought out, and every recipe has turned out great so far in comparison to other books about bread. She started from the basics and helps you build the skills from there. A+I would love to recommend but not if the book literally falls apart
A great book for a beginner
I was a beginner when I purchased this book and I have made some lovely bread. I’m not a pro at all so I still love delving into her book. I highly recommend it.
Gift
My husband has expressed an interest in baking bread. This is a good book to start.
Simply fantastic!
I just love this book. I made some breads from this book. They all came out fantastic and my family just loved them. It does teach you to make basic white bread (panned loaf) too. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.
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.
