Read on Hacker NewsNot necessarily easy, but I cannot recommend "Bread" by Hamelman enough: http://www.amazon.com/Bread-Bakers-Book-Techniques-Recipes/d... It's actually geared towards professional (artisanal) bakers, but all recipes include home proportions as well. I've baked a lot from it, and never had a failure. It manages to be both incredibly thorough and scientific, yet convey the passion and craft side of it as well. I'm not sure there's any book in my home that I'd keep in its place if I had to choose.
