The first release from NICKEL DINNER, the culinary imprint of Two Plum Press, now in its fourth printing. This printing features 20 pages of new material – more extra leaven recipes (crumpets and spaetzle!), a remix of the original recipe offered by a friend, new photographs, and edits here and there.

A handbook for loose, intuitive, naturally leavened bread baking peppered with ponderings, ruminations, and romantic notions on the baking and consuming of bread as something one can and should do in our troubled world.

Revive your bread making practice, start or refine one, and enjoy reading about the topic in new ways. The Long Loaf presents an approach to simplify and sustain.
