looking for a book on baking for a gift

[PugwasHDJ80]

Whats the very best book on baking for an amateur cook- i'm looking at bread making, sourdoughs, pizza bases etc etc

ideally quite technical, rather than just a glossy book full of photos and recipes

Dan Lepard - Short & Sweet

Paul Hollywood's Bread or Baking are both good, though they are making me fat

+2, or if you want something focused purely on bread (especially sourdough), look at "The Handmade Loaf" by the same author.

Looks like you’re already sorted but for technical I can highly recommend the pizza bible. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pizza-Bible-Tony-Gemignan...
