Perhaps you’ve been wondering which 42 breads I selected for my Swiss Bread book? With over 200 breads to choose from in Switzerland, it wasn’t easy for me to decide!
For your review, in case you might be interested, here’s a list of all the recipes in my book. In addition to these recipes, you can read the stories behind each of these breads.
