Homemade Sourdough: Easy, At-Home Artisan Bread Making

Very comprehensive detail for making the perfect loaf.

I love to bake bread and I have tried recipes from a number or bread baking books. However, I always felt that sourdough was something for advanced bakers. So, I was too shy to try it. After reading this book I feel ready to give it a go.This is a mine of information about techniques, ingredients, baking techniques etc. What I found very nice was the amount of details about how the starter should look like, how the dough should feel like when you work with it, common mistakes one can make, little disasters (and how everything is always nice toasted) and many tips for all stages of the process. There are good pictures that illustrate the techniques and the recipes. As a newcomer to sourdough I appreciated the effort made by the author to make the whole process as familiar and friendly as possible, and to stick to simple ingredients. And there are many recipes to choose from.I am ready to start with my first sourdough and put in practice all the good advice from this book. Thanks to the author on behalf of the sourdough rookies (and surely of many experienced bakers too).

It a well Laid out book and easy to follow and give you some wonderful results.

You're in good hands with this book. Jane gives practical easy to follow instructions that will help the novice baker wanting to tackle sourdough bread. A section I particularly likes includes very useful pictures describing "what went wrong" and how to fix it next time.She covers many different types of flour and also a wide range of items to make including waffles and even bao style buns giving plenty of chances to hone your skills.Jane is the founder of Virtuous Bread and set up Bread Angels microbakery course teaching people how to set up their own small bakery.This book was previously published as Perfecting Sourdough in 2015.
