Product description
A bread-making masterclass for home bakers, featuring simple, satisfying breads, loaves, and rolls made from a range of flours, including gluten-free varieties
In The Bread Book, Éric Kayser - founder of the legendary French bakery Maison Kayser and bestselling author of The Larousse Book of Bread makes baking bread from scratch both accessible and exciting.

Let customers speak for us
It is fun, yellow which I love and witty cats which I love even more ! Speedy delivery too.
Finally I have found a planner that gives me all I need - a monthly overview, 2 pages for each week as well with plenty of space for lists of things to do and notes and whatever you want to write for each day. PLUS pages at the back for more notes! Lovely cover and good quality paper. Well done!
Much more fun and meaningful than something saccharin and cheesy
Favourite ever notebooks, gorgeous colours and excellent quality for my fountain pen obsession! Used them for years for my morning pages and can’t wait to buy the A6 size.
I've bought about 4 of these notebooks to journal in and I absolutely adore them. They are beautiful in design, with high-quality paper and seem to last forever. More colours would be fantastic!
....but a lovely pencil. I bought it for my choir music file, haven't had a chance to use it yet but looks excellent
Love the design of this pocket pencil. So lightweight & just fits beautifully in my hand. Will be purchasing more.
Perfect size and layout for all my diary needs. Gorgeous quality of paper and a perfect lavender blue. Love it
It’s the perfect black fineliner!
Best shopping ever! I bought the same item from their official website before, but the product page had many flaws and the price was very high.
This time, I was surprised by how quickly and smoothly the delivery arrived, especially since receiving packages at my house is difficult. The the price was affordable. Although I chose premium shipping, I used a half-price coupon when I bought it, making it cheaper than the official website.
Most importantly, Papersmiths' quality is excellent, everything is just perfect. Can you believe they even wrapped it and included a handwritten greeting card with my name on it! It definitely made my day and will probably make my year. These small details and kindness are more precious than anything else.
I love this planner- last year I used another and didn’t accomplish as many goals as I normally do when I use the daily goal digger. I’m so pleased I got a 2026 version. Excellent quality, with goal setting and reflection for daily life and big picture goals. It looks handsome in black. Also Papersmiths is the best place to purchase - super fast delivery and a hand written note- just lovely- it’s never too late to ditch your current system and get one that actually works for you!
I wanted to stop buying reusable pens so bought a cost effective fountain pen and this does the job perfectly. It is nicely designed, small and neat and writes beautifully. I am using the ink cartridge but also bought the converter to use just ink. Very pleased with it.
I've been buying MiGoals diaries for 6 years and I love them. The prompts at the beginning are very helpful to plan my goals for the year ahead.
Amazing planner! I'm going into 2026 with excitment that some big goals are going to be smashed.
This planner is just perfect. The layout works really well, it’s lovely quality too. Really nice touch with a personalised thank you card inside and a message of thanks via Instagram. Will definitely use Papersmiths again.
