The Long Loaf: Bread for All Days (Andrew Barton)

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!

Text, photographs, and book design by Andrew Barton.

A forth printing, now printed and bound entirely by Becky Wolfswinkel, in black and white with color covers printed on 100lb eggshell paper and tightly bound without the sometimes slippery dust jacket of the previous printing, is out now, spring 2026. 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.
