JOYFULL;
Good afternoon. I do own PR's Bread bakers apprentice, however, I do not have any opinion for this book. Although the Bagel recipe is xlnt. JUST REDUCE THE HYDRATION LEVEL FROM 57% TO 55%.
My recomendations are to check-out Rose Levy Biranbaums"THE BREAD BIBLE" & Jeffrey Hamelman's "BREAD" technics& recipes.
Why I suggest these two books to you is not for the recipes, but because they also discuss bread baking science as well. In other words it is also a learning book. As you know, we first must learn about baking science in order to bake the best bread that we are capable of baking.
Good luck & have a nice day.
