The Splendid Table

822: The King Arthur Baking Company's Big Book of Bread with Jessica Battilana and Martin Philip


Listen Later

This week, we dedicate the entire episode to answering your bread baking questions with two brilliant bakers and teachers, King Author’s very own Jessica Battilana, Staff Editor, and Martin Philip, King Arthur’s Head Bread Baker. While King Arthur has taught millions of people to bake through their school, website, and classic cookbooks. They only now have published a book devoted entirely to bread, The King Arthur Baking Company’s Big Book of Bread.  Francis, Jessica, and Martin take listener questions on everything from the “why” behind the flavor of English Muffins, best proofing practices, what to do with extra laminated dough (if you can imagine having that problem!), and why they consider "toast" a food group all its own. Don't miss their recipe for Masa Honey Toasting Bread.
