Baking with the St. Paul Bread Club: Recipes, Tips and Stories Book

This is a decent book with interspersed stories and recipes. The stories are short (2-3 pages) and well-written, and provide a bit of interesting bread history along with personal anecdotes.

There are a large variety of recipes here, so if you're into bread, you should find something you like. I tried the focaccia recipe and it was very tasty. (It was my first attempt at focaccia.)

I wouldn't recommend this book for the beginning baker, however. For example, the french bread recipe assumes some knowledge and I was rather lost, being barely beyond novice-level myself. But if you've baked a few loaves and can use the google hivemind as back-up, you'll be okay.
