With more than 200 recipes, Milk Street Bakes represents eight years of traveling and learning from home bakers around the world. It contains loaves and cookies and cakes we'd never heard of before developing this book, plus the world's best versions of the familiar.

You'll find Turkish “moon” cookies dating back to the Ottoman empire; a parchment-wrapped Portuguese sponge cake that puffs up and crinkles out of the oven; our Pour-in-the-Pan pizza, inspired by the world’s airiest, chewiest focaccia; Angelo Arrigoni’s “cloud bread,” invented accidentally at his century-old bakery in Rome; and more.
