Bread Head : Baking for the Road Less Traveled
Bread is a living organism. And because of that, it’s a product of its envi-
ronment. The heat, the cold, the humidity, the altitude, heck even the vibes in

adjust to those things has been the key to running a production bakery—not to mention becoming a better, more intuitive baker. I’ve made a lot of bread ina lot of different places—in home kitchens, in bakeries, on farms—and I've learned how all these shifts can affect the final product, even though the ingredients and the process largely stay constant. So while a recipe can tell you how to make the perfect loaf of bread under ideal conditions, what happens when you live in the real world?
