1+1: The Two Sides of the Trade – Bakery & Viennoiserie by José Roldán

1+1: The Two Sides of the Trade by José Roldán brings together two closely connected disciplines in one professional book: bakery and viennoiserie.

Designed as two books in one, 1+1 features two front covers. One side is dedicated to Bakery, while the other explores Viennoiserie, allowing readers to approach each discipline independently while understanding the techniques and processes that connect them.

Across more than 350 pages, José Roldán presents around twenty creations in each section, combining complete recipes, detailed processes, professional techniques and step-by-step photography. The focus goes beyond formulas, helping bakers understand not only what to do, but also how and why each process works.

The recipes are organized around three approaches:

• Bakery Essentials – fundamental preparations including baguette, croissant and Jurassienne.
• Signature Creations – Roldán's personal approach to dough through creations such as the lemon wheat and rye crown, Toro and Califa.
• Competition Recipes – recipes developed through professional competition, including the chocolate and orange log, Tiger Burger and baker's coulant.

Named Spain's Best Baker in 2015 and recognized as a World Baker in 2025, José Roldán combines the precision of pastry with the intuition of breadmaking. 1+1 brings together the techniques, experience and working methods developed throughout his professional career.

A practical reference for professional bakers, pastry chefs, culinary students and serious baking enthusiasts looking to deepen their understanding of bread, laminated dough and modern viennoiserie.
