Uri Scheft

Book - 2016

"Israeli baking encompasses the influences of so many regions--Morocco, Yemen, Germany, and Georgia, to name a few--and master baker Uri Scheft seamlessly marries all of these in his incredible baked goods at his Breads Bakery in New York City and Lehamim Bakery in Tel Aviv. Nutella-filled babkas, potato and shakshuka focaccia, and chocolate rugelach are pulled out of the ovens several times an hour for waiting crowds. In Breaking Breads, Scheft takes the combined influences of his Scandinavian heritage, his European pastry training, and his Israeli and New York City homes to provide sweet and savory baking recipes that cover European, Israeli, and Middle Eastern favorites. ..."--Amazon.com.

Review by Library Journal Review

Israeli baker Scheft, the co-owner of Breads Bakery in New York, reveals the secrets behind his celebrated breads and pastries. His generously portioned recipes for basic doughs (e.g., challah, babka, brioche, flatbreads) lend themselves to endless variation, and general home bakers can use them to produce both simple rolls and dramatic, festive loaves. Writing with Pelzel (Toast), Scheft explains the dough's look and feel during all stages of preparation and includes plenty of step-by-step photographs to illustrate more challenging braiding, coiling, and other shaping techniques. For the best results, readers will need a kitchen scale, stand mixer, and plenty of counter space. -VERDICT An essential modern Middle Eastern baking collection featuring delights such as shakshuka focaccia and chocolate rugelach. © Copyright 2016.
