Chef Ciril Hitz
Baguette dough yields a bouquet of breadsticks, buttery brioche becomes an elegant fruit Danish, and so on - you can create more than 30 mouthwatering breads from just 10 recipes!
Baking Artisan Bread provides a simplified, formula-based approach to baking bread at home, making the mixing, the rising, and the baking itself more approachable and less intimidating. With step-by-step full-color process shots and clear directions, chef Ciril Hitz will show you how with just 10 formulas you can create more than 30 different breads - how's that for streamlined?
* Ten basic bread formulas share professional-grade tips for home bakers of all experience levels.
* Each formula is distilled into 10 steps, illuminating all stages of preparation and baking with flour-dusted, step-by-step photography.
* With simple ingredients and most of the equipment needed already in the kitchen, you'll be baking in no time!
An instructional DVD is included in the book. Each copy ordered is autographed.
"Ciril Hitz and his book Baking Artisan Bread are the real thing. His recipes are clear, articulate, complete, and easy to follow, and the excellent photos guide you through every step of each process. Ciril gives you everything you need to know to produce his signature breads, which are as delicious as they are beautiful."
- NIck Malgieri, Author of How to Bake and The Modern Baker
"Ciril Hitz is a master craftsman and a true artisan. He is also, as thousands of his students and colleagues (like me) know, an amazing teacher. In Baking Artisan Bread, he reveals one of the great secrets of professional bakers: If you know how to make these ten archetypal breads, you can extend them into hundreds of variations. Ciril teaches you how."
- Peter Reinhart, Author of Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads: New Techniques, Extraordinary Flavor

This booklet is a compilation of what author Sol Menashe has learned
from his 25 years of baking and assisting thousands of users through
the bakery software he has written. The illustrated booklet is a
guide to what can be achieved using a computer system specifically
designed for bakeries, and what to look for in selecting a system.
The booklet may be purchased individually or with the accompanying
CD presentation based on the lectures Mr. Menashe has given at the
AIB.

“Mainstreet Bakery (a full-service
bakery), provides area restaurants, hotels and food service
operations with a variety of products including breads, pastries,
fried rolls, and cakes. I commissioned Mr. Menashe to come
and help reinvent the operation from a computerized perspective.
“In short, his visit paid for itself within one week.
This came from increased visibility and understanding of the
costs associated with each product and the affect on pricing.
I found our net profit increased by 10 percentage points,
and it was all done with incremental actions that were not
felt by my customers. Much of the added profit was also found
in waste (production time and product waste).
“Anyone thinking about purchasing Sol’s “Guide
to Computerized Bakery Management” would be advised
to do so. Better yet, if you are interested in buying his
time, it is worth every penny. His knowledge of bakery management
has much to offer. Our time spent with Sol was very enriching.”
-- Anthony C. Sisinni, Owner, Mainstreet Bakery
