Jane Mason

Jane Mason founded Virtuous Bread in 2010 to make it fun and easy for people all over the world to make and find and learn about bread and in so doing to forge the link between bread and virtue. Jane bakes, teaches baking, speaks about bread as a catalyst for social change. To date she has written three books: All You Knead Is Bread, The Book of Buns, and Home Made Sourdough.

Jane has had the fortune to learn from excellent bakers from South Africa to Sweden, from Viet Nam to Tampa to Toronto and all points inbetween, and it is this knowledge of global bread and its role in the lives of billions of people all over the world that makes her special. Her style is engaging and clear, she is never dogmatic, and she is responsive to any question or query you may have.

On her website (www.virtuousbread.com) there are videos about many aspects of the bread baking process from proofing yeast to shaping baguettes. They are a valuable addition to her books. You can follow her on Twitter (@virtuousbread) as well as Facebook (Virtuous Bread). You can also bake your way through the book of buns by joining the Facebook group dedicated to doing just that! It is called "baking our way through the book of buns"!
