Crusts by Barbara Elisi Caracciolo
November 3, 2018 by JennyCrusts: The Ultimate Baker’s Book by Barbara Elisi Caracciolo shares more than 300 recipes from expert and artisan bakers, covering breads, croissants, flatbreads, pizzas, and pies. Barbara is the founder and owner of Spigamadre bakery in Stockholm, Sweden and the author of the Bread and Companatico website.
When I received this book, I was impressed with the depth of information contained within its covers, the beautiful photographs and the range of recipes. There are 300+ recipes from artisan bakers around the world; gluten-free, Paleo, vegetarian, and vegan recipes; complete how-to sections on making your own dough, bread, and pizzas with easy-to-follow instructions; helpful tips and techniques from expert bakers and chefs; culinary histories behind your favorite loaves and pastries; an illustrated catalog of more than 100 grains from around the world and throughout time and still more!
Savory kale-filled buns, Lemon rice pudding pie, Salt-n-Pepa prawn pizza, and Maple pecan pie with bourbon are a few examples of what you will find here. Profiles of bakeries and restaurants (Flour, Otto Pizza, Scoozi) and the bakers themselves (Joanne Chang, Michael Siu) are the icing on the cake. You will get lost in this beautiful book, buy a copy for yourself and for all the bakers in your life. I see a Frissant on my horizon.
