If you want even tastier bread I'd recommend Ken Forkish - Flour Water Salt Yeast.

I started baking bread after moving to Canada because American/Canadian bread is horrific.

It was never as good as the bread in Germany or France though.

After Reading this book I was able to make better bread than I can find at almost any bakery in Germany.

I'd also recommend The Fresh Loaf (thefreshloaf.com) and the Chain Baker on YouTube. The latter is a gold mine for understanding how certain ingredients and techniques will effect your end result.
