Overview
In Bien Cuit, he shares his insiderās secrets to making his delicious, artisanal bread that will have home bakers creating professional-quality products in no timeāand inexpensively.
Bien Cuit: The Art of BreadĀ is a work of art with images from famed food photographer Thomas Schauer and a beautifully designed, sophisticated interior. Zach Golper's superstar status in the worldĀ of bread baking, starters, and simple baking methods has made Bien Cuit a world classic.
Bien CuitĀ introduces a new approach to a proudly old-fashioned way of baking bread. In the oven of his Brooklyn bakery, Chef Zachary Golper creates loaves that are served in New Yorkās top restaurants and sought by bread enthusiasts around the country. His secret: long, low-temperature fermentation, which allows the dough to develop deep, complex flavors. A thick mahogany-colored crust is his trademarkāwhat the French callĀ bien cuit, or āwell baked.āĀ This signature style is the product of Golperās years as a journeyman baker, from his introduction to baking on an Oregon farmāwhere they made bread by candlelight at 1 a.m.āthrough top kitchens in America and Europe and, finally, into his own bakery in the heart of our countryās modern artisanal food scene.Ā
Bien CuitĀ tells the story of Golperās ongoing quest to coax maximum flavor out of one of the worldās oldest and simplest recipes. Readers and amateur bakers will reap the rewards of his curiosity and perfectionism in the form of fifty bread recipes that span the baking spectrum from rolls and quick breads to his famous 24-day sourdough starter. This book is an homage to tradition, but also to invention. Golper developed many new recipes for this book, including several ābread quests,ā in which he brilliantly revives some of New York Cityās most iconic breads (including Jewish rye, Sicilian lard bread, Kaiser rolls, and, of course, bagels). You will also find palate-pleasing and innovative āgastronomic breadsā that showcase his chefās intuition and mastery of ingredients.
Golperās defining technique comes at a time when American home cooks are returning to tradition-tested cooking methods and championing the DIY movement. Golperās methods are relatively simple and easy to master, with recipes that require no modern equipment to make at home: just a bowl, an oven, and timeāthe dough does most of the work.
