Bread bakers make for a humble, friendly community. Wolfgang Süpke exemplifies such spirit. Meeting him via social media, I asked him for a link about a book he mentioned. Wolfgang didn't just offer a link, he sent me the book, itself. Thanks to Wolfgang for this beautiful copy of Deutschlands Bester Bäcker.

Written in German, it's a beautifully photographed book with a plethora of formulas for bread and pastry native to Germany. Having spent time as a kid living in Germany, and later serving there as in the American army, I look forward to trying a lot of these terrific looking treats. 

Ein großes dankeschön an Wolfgang, der beste Bäcker in meinem buch!
