Faith Middleton's Food Schmooze: Amy's Bread

Bread-struck New Yorkers line up outside Amy's Bread, a bread-lover's haven, where Amy Scherber and staff turn out dozens of miraculous loaves. But the truly remarkable thing about these breads is that they can be made by anybody. This book includes recipes simple enough for even the most timid baker, plus ste-by-step techniques.
