With 40 sweet and savory gluten-free recipes, a celebration of breadmaking and one innovative Paris bakeryIn bread making, rice flour is usually considered less than preferable, especially when it comes to volume and texture. Supposedly only wheat flours allow bakers to get the crust thickness and crumb softness just right.

Nathaniel Doboin and Thomas Teffri-Chambelland showcase these techniques at Chambelland, a Paris-based gluten-free bakery. There, square loaves and flat breads triumph over the classic French baguette. Chambelland offers an exclusive menu featuring all sorts of breads, biscuits, and pastries—including focaccias, pissaladières, muffins, and chouquettes—all made from rice and other naturally gluten-free flours.With a preface by Alain Ducasse, Flours, Breads and More is an ode to this bakery and its innovative way of baking.
