Baking with the St. Paul Bread Club

Additional Details

Description: In St. Paul, Minnesota, a diverse group of men and women have found each other, united by a single passion: baking bread. Bread club meetings transform St. Agnes Baking Company, a professional production bakery, into a lively forum for those hooked on this satisfying ritual. 

Veteran journalist and club member Kim Ode invites novices and masters alike to join these dedicated home bakers in the kitchen as they share family traditions, experiment with new ingredients, exchange tips, and roll up their sleeves to work the dough. 

Over seventy favorite recipes emerge from intimate profiles of the club members who perfected them -- from the businesswoman and her nearly flawless baguette to the former Iron Ranger who shares the secrets of her grandmother's strudel-like potica. 

The club's newest member, a book designer who was given a copy of The World of Breads nearly four decades ago, has since transformed the book's anadama recipe into a peppery delight, swapping out molasses for chipotles and butter for bacon fat.
