We just moved to a new house after 16 years in our old place. This
gave me a chance to round up my baking books into one place and do
a bibliography.

Among the titles below, I think you'll find several books which will
give you the information which you seek. A good place to start
might be Joe Ortiz' book "The Village Baker" which provides both
recipes and techniques.
