Description
Sourdough: A Time-Honored Tradition for Artisan Breads. For home bakers looking to replace mass-produced breads with artisan loaves made using wild cultures and natural fermentation, this revised handbook is an essential guide. Ed and Jean Wood, renowned sourdough authorities, share their expertise on crafting the perfect loaf, revealing a unique culture-proofing step that allows for greater control over sourness and leavening. The book features recipes for rustic grains and modern flavors, including Herb Spelt Bread, Prairie Flax Bread, and Malt Beer Bread. It also includes no-knead versions of classic breads like White French Bread, as well as homemade baguettes, bagels, English muffins, and cinnamon rolls. A chapter on baking authentic sourdoughs in bread machines completes the collection. Steeped in tradition, these recipes offer a wonderfully ritualized approach to bread-making that brings out the full flavor of natural ingredients.
