Many sources on the Internet have this Treatise as first published by Standard Brands’ Fleischmann Division in 1927, revised twice in 1934 and 1935. This book shows that the actual first edition, first printing was in 1906. This copy of Treatise on Baking is in excellent antique condition.

First part of the book is General Instructions, with topics like Yeast Raised Cakes, Temperature of Dough, Hadling Sponges, Improving Old Doughs (I love that one,) and Proper Mixing of Flours.
