Although the right equipment does not a recipe make, having the right items on hand can definitely make life easier in the home bakery. And the fact is that it’s highly likely that if you cook or bake at home, you already own most of the equipment you’ll need to produce high-quality bread in the comfort of your own kitchen. On top of that, the items that you may not have and will need to purchase are not expensive when compared to much of the equipment necessary to cook fine-dining-quality meals. This frugality fits perfectly in line with what bread baking should be—getting a lot for very little.
