The Bread Baker's Apprentice
Shipping
Peter Reinhart’s The Bread Baker’s Apprentice has guided home bakers through artisan loaves since its 2001 Ten Speed Press release. This hardcover cookbook distills the renowned bread master’s teaching into clear formulas for baguettes, sourdough, pizza, and enriched breads.
The 2001 first edition comes protected by its original dust jacket and carries a warm handwritten inscription, adding personal charm to the reference shelf. Inside, step-by-step photos and Reinhart’s patient prose demystify fermentation, shaping, and steam for beginners and seasoned pros alike.
Expect visible wear on the jacket and two pages that show pen notes and light stains—cosmetic quirks that don’t block the recipes. Overall the book remains solid, readable, and ready to earn its place in your kitchen library.
