How to Bake

Ready, set, BAKE!

From the star of Netflix's Great British Baking Show, a delicious, easy-to-follow cookbook for every home chef who wants to master the Victorian sponge, avoid soggy pie bottoms, and win star baker.

"Despite the temptation of icing-splattered pains aux raisins, crisp Cypriot almond biscuits, and a carrot and almond cheesecake, I went straight for the flatbread recipe and it worked like a dream." --Nigel Slater, The Guardian

Paul Hollywood was the son of a baker long before he became a household name as a judge on The Great British Baking Show. Raised to make perfect breads, scones, and sponges, he advanced from his father's kitchen to become head baker at hotels around the world. As he worked, Hollywood became passionate about busting the myths that surround baking, sharing his finely honed skills, and showing that with the right guidance, anybody can achieve success time after time.

Now, in How to Bake, Hollywood introduces readers to his tried and true techniques. He has filled this book with easy-to-follow, clearly explained, utterly delicious recipes for an abundance of breads, pastries, cakes and biscuits from ciabatta to focaccia and fresh croissants to a classic Victoria sponge.

As they say on Great British Baking Show: "Ready, Set, BAKE!"
