Bread Around the World: Global Recipes Cultures & Comfort in Every Loaf

Bread Around the World is a celebration of humanity’s oldest and most comforting food — bread.From the humble bhakri cooked on a tava in an Indian kitchen to crusty European loaves pulled from stone ovens, every culture has its own way of turning flour, water, and time into nourishment and connection. This book brings those stories, traditions, and techniques together in one carefully crafted collection.Inside, you’ll discover breads from India, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Americas, and Asia — from everyday flatbreads and fermented favourites to festive loaves and modern home-baking classics. Each recipe is written for the home baker, with clear instructions, practical tips, and variations that respect tradition while fitting modern kitchens.More than a recipe book, Bread Around the World explores bread as ritual, comfort, and shared experience. Alongside recipes, you’ll find guidance on understanding dough, working with yeast and sourdough, troubleshooting common baking problems, and giving new life to leftover bread.Whether you are baking your first loaf or expanding your global repertoire, this book invites you to slow down, knead with intention, and experience how bread brings people together — across borders, generations, and tables.May your kitchen always be warm, and your bread always rise.
