Bread is such a staple in cultures across the world that it has been called "the staff of life." Bill Alexander, who previously wrote on gardening in The $64 Tomato, decided to undertake a self-assigned mission to bake the perfect loaf of bread, from scratch. His journey takes the reader from ancient Egypt to a modern day yeast mill to an abandoned bakery at a French monastery.
Bill will be at The Galaxy Bookshop on Tuesday, May 18, to talk about his experiment and the resulting book, 52 Loaves.
Here's an easy way to support your local library and your local bookstore! The Cabot Public Library and Greensboro Free Library have both posted wish lists of books they would like to add to their collections.
