Summary

“This baking bible is the perfect mix of solid techniques, good advice, and tried-and-true recipes . . . one of the best possible places to begin.” —Gale Gand, James Beard Award–winning pastry chef   With the demise of home economics in the school system, many adults have no baking experience at all, relying on dreary store-bought baked goods and artificial mixes to satisfy their cravings. Baking Basics and Beyond allows even absolute novices to prepare a wide array of delicious, healthy breads, cakes, cookies, pies, and more. In a warm, reassuring manner, Pat Sinclair leads beginning bakers step-by-step through each recipe, thoroughly explaining each technique and direction. After learning a basic technique, additional recipes provide further practice and more elaborate results. This second edition contains more than 100 recipes, from old favorites like icebox cookies, cornbread, and brownies to updated classics, including Butterscotch Cashew Blondies, Chai Latte Custards, and Savory Wild Mushroom Bread Pudding. Throughout, explanations and precise tips, based on Sinclair’s years of baking experience, make readers feel as though there is a friendly teacher in the kitchen, peering over their shoulders, and guiding them toward perfect results, every time.   This new edition of this basic, down-to-earth, reader-friendly baking guide is updated with beautiful full color photos throughout.   “Offers help for rookie bakers with tips and suggestions following almost all recipes . . . The book offers good reminders for all home bakers.” —Chicago Tribune   “Sinclair knows what she’s talking about. In her easy-going, uncomplicated manner, she leads beginning bakers through step-by-step instructions for everything from scones, biscuits, and cookies to pies, custards, and cheesecakes.” —OneForTheTable.com

    The author of Everyday Keto Baking shares the naturally gluten-free wonders of coconut flour: “Erica’s grain-free recipes hit the spot every time.” —Michelle Tam, New York Times–bestselling coauthor of Nom Nom Paleo 
     
    Coconut flour is quickly becoming one of the most popular flours on the market today, and deservedly so. It contains no gluten and no grain, and is low in digestive carbs and high in fiber, making it a favorite among Paleo, gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, and low-glycemic dieters. In addition to what coconut flour doesn’t contain, what it does contain is just as impressive. Not only is it packed with protein, but it also contains four times more fiber than oat bran; just a few tablespoons provides you with between twenty-five to fifty percent of your daily required intake! 
     
    Inside, you’ll learn how to bake wonderful muffins, cakes, cookies, savory bites and more with this amazing flour, which is now easy to find in most grocery stores and online. No fillers, additives, and gums here—just simple, all-natural treats such as: 
     
    Cheddar Biscuits * Skillet Cornbread * Chocolate Chip Scones * Spiced Pumpkin Bread * Carrot Cake * Chocolate Layer Cake * Red Velvet Cupcakes * Pesto Flatbread Pizza * Garlic-Cauliflower Breadsticks * Spinach Mushroom Feta Crêpes * Coconut Shrimp with Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce 
     
    Author and blogger Erica Kerwien (comfybelly.com) will walk you through everything you need to know for using the flour with great results. You’ll also find a handy icon guide for those recipes that are (or can be made) Paleo, grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free and more, so in no time you’ll be whipping up new favorites that will please everyone (and every diet) at your table.
