Artisan Sourdough: Wholesome Recipes, Organic Grains

Master the art of sourdough, from creating a starter to baking and serving delicious loaves in this full-color, step-by-step, illustrated guide.

For a growing number of people, eating heathy is more important than ever. We’re rejecting processed, packaged foods filled with unpronounceable chemicals, and are embracing, organic whole foods, including whole grain and slow made breads like sourdough—the oldest method of bread baking.

In Artisan Sourdough, bakers Casper Andre Lugg and Marin Ivar Hveem Fjeld show you how to master this traditional style of bread which has never been more relevant or popular. This how-to book features fifteen no-fail recipes with clear, step-by-step instructions and photographs to help you make your own artisanal loaves at home.

The methods and recipes in Artisan Sourdough continue a tradition that is more than 5,000 years old: mix flour and water, then allow the dough to ferment and rise by itself. This extended fermentation process allows for maximum flavor—and easier digestion. With an emphasis on local, heirloom, and ancient grains, the authors introduce the natural ingredients used in artisan baking, teaching how to make a stable starter, and explaining how to “set the leaven” to create perfect baked loaves. The book comes complete with cook’s notes and a trouble-shooting section to help you to avoid soggy bottoms, over baking, and other common problems.

This is an indispensable resource for bakers, the perfect starter guide for the beginner bread baker that demystifies this traditional food that has been enjoyed around the world for generations.
