I'm sure I am leaving out a bunch of great ones but if I had to suggest just 1 to anyone it would DEFINITELY be The Art of French Pastry. Best for somebody who has done basics already and looking to try a little more. Even as a professional baker I find myself coming back and just reading the little spots like how he burned himself on his caramel. Great, great book!
My wife gave me the book, Beard on Bread. It is the Basic White Free-Form Loaf. You can also find the recipe here that someone else posted.
Didn't deviate much, other than using a hair more water in the sponge to make sure it was a very wet dough. As a result I probably used a bit more flour than it calls for when making the dough. I stopped measuring after 2 cups and probably kneaded in a bit more than a half cup.
It rose like crazy. The first rise is supposed to take 1.5-2 hours, pretty sure mine was done in an hour, tops. Which I was thrilled to see, since usually I never seem to even get it to rise to double bulk.
This book gave me a great start
