TECHNIQUES

The techniques in this book were developed with home bakers of all experience levels in mind. Whether it's new ways to use tools already in your kitchen, elevating the flavour of bread with pressure-caramelised inclusions, or using our dough-CPR method to save over-proofed dough, there's information that both seasoned home bakers and complete beginners will find useful. They even figured out ways to make bread faster, like their second-chance sourdough, so you can still enjoy fresh bread even with a hectic schedule!
