Chapter 1: Bread
Friends, next Tuesday, Bread Toast Crumbs will be here. To any of you who have pre-ordered it, thank you! If you haven’t, there’s still time. Here’s a little video that captures the spirit of the first chapter. (Toast and Crumbs videos to follow.)
A few quick notes:
• There’s still space at HGS Home Chef for the 2-3 pm class. There will be books, bread, and gifts (Dot and Army cloth bowl covers & peasant bread kits).
• I recently spoke with Margaret Roach of A Way to Garden, which was so much fun. Margaret’s blog is an inspiration! Check out this planting calculator. I can’t wait to get my tomato seeds going.
That’s it! Hope you all are well.

Thanks so much, Emily!! You will be a great teacher. 🙂 🙂 🙂
I am sooooooo excited for this!!!! I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ your blog. It’s my ‘go to’. And there’s nothing better or easier to make than the peasant bread. Congrats on what looks to be an amazing launch!
Thank you so much, Anne!! Means so much. I think you every time I go to Tara Kitchen for Moroccan food — I went last night. It was amazing. Eggplant and chickpea tagine. So yummy. Thanks for the kind words!!

I love the video presentation, and the cover picture is beautiful!!
Congratulation!
Thank you, Carlos!
I have been obsessively making your peasant bread for the last 2 months. I have done the original version, the overnight ciabatta rolls, and the faux focaccia version(I add chopped garlic to the rosemary/sea salt combo- amazing). Just preordered the book because I want to try more variations! By the way, did you work at Fork in Philly in 2010? I had my wedding reception there ?
Sonia, this makes me so happy!! All of it — your experiments, your kind words, your preorder (thank you!!), and yes, Fork! I left fork at the very end of 2007, so I missed you, but I’m so happy to hear you had your wedding reception there. It’s such a beautiful place, and Ellen is so wonderful.
Pre-ordered and so excited!! I’ve been waiting for this for a long time and cannot wait to get my hands on this book. Your Mom’s Peasant Bread is the only bread I have been able to master. Its so delicious and makes me feel like a bread baker!! All of your recipes have been delicious, not just bread. I’m so happy for all of your success!!! Congrats!!!
Thank you so much, Susan!! Your kind words mean the world. I’m so happy the bread (and others!) has (have) been a success. Thank you for writing in.
Amazing pictures. I’ll need to take a look at this. I’m a sucker for homemade bread. Or homemade anything really.
Thanks, Natalie!!
Love the video! I am so excited for you, Ali! The book looks beautiful! I absolutely can’t wait until my copy arrives.
Congratulations!!
Awww, Trish, thank you!! So great to hear from you. I can’t believe how long it’s been now we’ve been communicating through these comments … must meet you soon! xoxo
It’s been fun! I am so happy that I discovered your blog…and so is my family!
Can’t wait! Can’t wait!
Thank you Andrea!!
How exciting! You make the process look so simple! Can’t wait to get a copy of your book. Congrats!
Thank you, Vanessa!
Thank you for the reminder! I just pre-ordered on Amazon. Can’t wait. Thank you!!!
Thank you, Kellie!!
My belated Christmas gift just came in the mail today!! I’m so excited to read this book from cover to cover, with some baking breaks in between. What a beautiful book!
Hannah, thank you!! Means the world to read this. xoxo
Congratulations! I hope you can arange an NYC book event.
Thank you, Sarah! I would love that. I’ll keep you posted.
Pre-ordered the book and it came yesterday. I had to order the yeast, so it will be here tomorrow. Going to give it a whirl or Friday. If the bread tastes half as good as it looks, I’m in for a treat.
Reading the book was fun. It takes a lot of hard writing to make easy reading. Thanks for taking the time to make it so enjoyable.
Ed, thank you so much for this nice comment — it means so much. I’m so happy you’ve enjoyed the book thus far and happy you you ordered the yeast. When I started buying/using SAF yeast in bulk, my bread making routine became so much more efficient and enjoyable. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks so much again for writing in!
Made my first batch of bread from your book this morning. Did it exactly as you said to do it, and the results are spectacular.
I tried to paste a picture of the bread into the blog’s reply window but couldn’t get it to work. I will send the picture to your gmail address. If you can get the picture into the comment window it will be a living proof (no pun intended) that you have a great way of making delicious bread.
This is going to be fun!
Ed, I’m going to upload the photo into the post — thanks so much for sending! Would be fun to post other people’s living proofs 🙂 here, too. So happy to hear/see the success. Thanks for reporting back.
Wow – you should be so proud of this book! I started baking the peasant bread after I saw your book featured in the March/April “bake FROM SCRATCH” /on the shelf/ page. Which led me to your website. I actually bake a lot, and feel pretty comfortable with complicated bread recipes. But the peasant bread is just too easy AND good to pass up – for both experienced and novice bakers. So! I really anticipated the release of your book, and pre-ordered on Amazon (they have my number – they send me cookbook suggestions ALL the time!). My book arrived this week, and I have loved every minute pouring over the beautiful photography, the overall quality (pages AND covers – smooth, comfortable to hold) and the insightful and informative text you have included with each recipe. I have so many cookbooks – this will become one of my favorites and I will give it as a gift over and over. I branched out with my first recipe last night by adding some basil olive oil, shredded asiago cheese, and some fresh herbs. The small amount of oil made the bread absolutely wonderful! Just great to know all those variations are possible. I plan to bake my way through every page of your book. Congratulations on a job well-done! I am a big fan! Take me along on your book tour! ? ?
Rebecca, thank you for all of this! I love Bake From Scratch — so grateful they led you my way. And I’m so happy to hear you are liking Bread Toast Crumbs. Means so much. Your asiago, oil, and herb variation sounds lovely. Would LOVE to take you on tour with me, thank you thank you thank you!!
