Must Haves (... and Some Nice-to-Haves) |
One of the great attractions of bread baking as a hobby is that it doesn't take much to get started -- a few bowls, a bench knife, a work surface and, of course, an oven. But there are also tools that add to the pleasure of bread baking -- that let us measure more precisely than our eyes and hands allow; that enable us to reproduce and adapt recipes and techniques that have evolved over centuries; that make mixing, benching and baking a whole lot easier. We at NYB are continually on the lookout for those kinds of tools, and when we find them and think they're priced right, they'll have earned their way onto this page. |
