About the Author

PETER REINHARTis a baking instructor and faculty member at Johnson and Wales University in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was the cofounder of Brother Juniper's Bakery in Santa Rosa, California, and is the author of eight books on bread baking, including Crust and Crumb and The Bread Baker's Apprentice (winner of the 2002 James Beard Cookbook of the Year and IACP Cookbook of the Year), and the 2008 James Beard Award-winning Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads.

DENENE WALLACEstarted baking goods that would help her manage blood sugar issues after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and gluten intolerance. Soon after, she founded Proseed Flour, a business specializing in the production of high-protein/low-carb gluten-free flour. Although at one time Denene needed five insulin shots a day to control her blood sugar, these recipes have helped her completely eliminate her need for insulin. She lives in Navarre, Florida.

This gorgeous book is sure to inspire anyone who wants to bake.”
