NOMINATED
FOR THE JAMES BEARD AWARD
Reader Reviews may be found at Amazon.com
and Barnes
& Noble.com. Suzanne has rave reviews of her book
and techniques.
Dunaway
begins NO NEED TO KNEAD by sharing her proven tips
on bread-baking, distinguishing between myth and reality,
and showing you how to make these extraordinary breads. Among
her secrets to baking (and cooking!) success:
- Maximize
surface area in relation to volume
(more crust means more flavor!).
- Use
a wetter dough than is conventionally accepted.
- Knead
as little as possible, using her stir and fold method instead.
These
rules, which defy convention, guarantee the moist, chewy breads
for which Suzanne is famous. With easy, step by step instructions,
NO NEED TO  KNEAD
teaches you how to make everything from fragrant Rosemary
Focaccia to Basic Pizza Crust and its many variations, from
Pane Casereccio (Housewive's Bread) to a perfect Rustico for
sandwiches, from Sourdough Flapjacks to Dark Chocolate Tozzetti.
Recipes for what to do with all the delicious bread you make
include original bread soups, savory and sweet bread souffleés,
and exotic croutini in addition to cookies, cakes and
fruit-with-bread desserts. There is even a chapter for young
bakers entitled "Bread for Children" which encourages them
to create their own breads from simple beginner's recipes.
Suzanne's
recipes are easy to follow and make quickly. Most of them
are fat, sugar and dairy-free, making them not only delicious
but healthful, too. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why
Buona Forchetta's breads, tozzetti and croutini are
enjoyed by L.A.'s rich and famous, such as Whoopie Goldberg,
Elton John, and Harrison Ford.
Dunaway
is also a gifted artist. Her vibrant watercolors and drawings
may be seen on the cover as well as throughout the book.
