From the Middle East to the East Village, Librae Bakery celebrates Bahraini flavours and Danish techniques in a city of unparalleled energy: New York.

With its genre-bending methods, inspired flavour combinations – and so much butter – this debut cookbook from the cult New York bakery includes extraordinary recipes to make at home. Showcasing what makes the bakery so special, you’ll find chapters for Buns, Babkas, Breads, Croissants, Scones and Cakes, and Cookies. And the theme throughout is flavour.

Sweet and savoury favourites include the likes of Feta and Hot Honey Scrolls; Roasted Apricot and Za’atar Sourdough; Shakshuka Focaccia; Loomi and Lemon Curd Babka; Rose and Pistachio Croissants; and Tahini Chocolate Cookies.

From simple bakes to detailed step-by-steps for perfectly laminated layers, Librae shares a wide-ranging collection of delicious creations from Bahrain and beyond for every baker’s kitchen.

About the Author

Dona Murad was raised in Bahrain and has since lived around the world. Her childhood in the Arabian Peninsula, mixed heritage and her travels beyond, taught her all about culinary fusions and she brings all of this together in her New York bakery, Librae. Her culinary team (which includes her mother) have, through exacting trial and error, produced some of the best pastries in the city. Their golden, buttery creations speak for themselves.
