Made with 4 basic ingredients
Artisan Bread and Pizza

We make artisan bread and pizza that are true to the basics.

How do they make the breads and pizzas of America's most acclaimed bakery, Ken's Artisan Bakery? Ken Forkish, owner and chef of Ken's Artisan Bakery, generously shares carefully curated recipes from his sourdough lab and the hard-won secrets he's learned.
However, his baking know-how, which is crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and impressive with a variety of deep flavors, is surprisingly simple.


'Stick to the basics.' Bread is made with the bare minimum of basic ingredients: flour, water, salt, and yeast. It's hand-kneaded to create a dough with a high moisture content. It's then slowly fermented for a long time to maximize the bread's flavor. Then, it's baked in a Dutch oven for a long time until the outside turns a deep brown.
Pizza, too, is made using the same method as bread dough, and then baked at home using a pizza stone or cast iron pan in the oven, giving it the taste of authentic wood-fired pizza.
He says that anyone can make excellent bread and original Italian pizza that rival those from famous bakeries by following the recipes in this book.

Publisher's Review
Use a variety of recipes to suit your individual abilities and lifestyle.

This book is divided into four parts: [Principles of Artisan Bread], [Basic Bread Recipes], [Levin Bread Recipes], and [Pizza Recipes], introducing the basic principles and recipes of artisan bread. It also explains in detail and in an easy-to-understand manner even specialized techniques useful to home bakers, such as autolyse, levain feeding, and the Pincer Method.

All the bread and pizza recipes in this book are based on precise mixing ratios tested in the author's home oven, so even experienced professional bakers and home bakers can make them without fail.
We also introduce a variety of customized recipes that can be utilized according to each person's ability and schedule. We also show you how to adjust your baking schedule to fit your lifestyle, and how to mix ingredients and adjust your schedule to create your own bread.
For example, you can make straight dough and bake bread for dinner tonight, or you can adjust the rise time of bread so that office workers who thought they could only make bread on the weekends can make it during the week, or you can store the leftover dough in the refrigerator and use it as pizza dough to make pizza anytime.

This book is not just a general guide to bread-making; it sets a new standard for artisan bread and pizza by helping readers understand the concept of baking and then grasping the structure of the recipe.
