So began his quest to hone not just his homemade baguette--which later beat out professional bakeries to win the \"Best Baguette of D.C.\"--but his knowledge of bread, from seed to table. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For the next four years, Fromartz traveled across the United States and Europe, perfecting his sourdough in California, his whole grain rye in Berlin, and his country wheat in the South of France. Along the way, he met historians, millers, farmers, wheat geneticists, sourdough biochemists, and everyone in between, learning about the history of breadmaking, the science of fermentation, and more. The result is an informative yet personal account of bread and breadbaking, complete with detailed recipes, tips, and beautiful photographs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Entertaining and inspiring, this book will be a touchstone for a new generation of bakers and a must-read for anyone who wants to take a deeper look at this deceptively ordinary, exceptionally delicious staple: handmade bread.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSamuel Fromartz \u003c\/b\u003eis a food, environment, and business journalist and the author of \u003ci\u003eOrganic, Inc.: Natural Foods and How They Grew.\u003c\/i\u003e Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Food \u0026amp; Environment Reporting Network, his work has appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Salon, Inc., Fortune, Business Week, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ethe Nation \u003c\/i\u003eand more, and has been selected for \u003ci\u003eThe Best Business Stories of the Year.\u003c\/i\u003e A native of Brooklyn, he lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife and daughter, where he bakes all his family's bread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.1 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 21, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52043231461677,"sku":"9780143127628","price":26.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/in-search-of-the-perfect-loaf-a-home-bakers-odyssey-paperback-5737015.webp?v=1780171147","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/in-search-of-the-perfect-loaf-a-home-bakers-odyssey-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
