Would be nice to collate a Downsizer 'library' of links / books for bread-making.
Please feel free to add your own favourites to this thread : website links, or [cook]books.

I found these helpful / interesting :

Dan Lepard's bread forum

Flour Advisory Bureau

another breadmaker's web pages

article about Andrew Whitley

Dove's Farm website re sourdough

And the chap I was talking to about sourdough last weekend recommended the following two books :

Elizabeth David 'British Yeast Cookery and Breads' [think that's the right title]

Andrew Whitley 'Bread Matters'

Thanks for updating ! Here is the sourdough recipe / method from the Doves Farm website https://www.dovesfarm.co.uk/recipes/sourdough-bread/ The site also has other recipes / resources that look useful.

I mended the original link. There are an awful lot of nice looking recipes on that Dove farm site.

Shipton Mill - their sack prices are pretty good. If you live near tetbury, the door price list is cheaper still

Bakery Bits - great range of accessories - bannetons/brotforms, lames, couches etc and reasonably priced

Brook Food - a little niche as they're a pro bakery supplier. They do sell Rofco ovens, which are compact bakery ovens that you can run at home. I haven't got one but apparently, they are very good

Books

Tartine
Any books by Richard Bertinet
The Breads of France - fascinating read. Part travelogue, part recipe book

I thought they were pastry type things, like small pies without a top crust or a pie tin.... I think of apples sliced thin and arranged into nice spirals...

Wikipedia says both: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galette (Though Sean dropped Breton) Bon appetit called them "pies that are nearly impossible to mess up"
