A Blessing of Bread: The Many Rich Traditions of Jewish Bread Baking Around the World by Maggie Glezer

This is a wonderful book, with excellent recipes and vignettes about Jewish bread-making all over the world. Plus, useful sayings and philosophy: "Di libeh iz zis, mit broit iz zi besser" (Love is sweet, but with bread it's better).

Artisan Baking by Maggie Glezer

Glezer has traveled around the US and visited top bakeries around the country. This book contains stories about these bakeries and some of their recipes. Recipes are very precise and easy to follow. Perhaps the best written recipes I've seen. Excellent photography. A must have!
