Sourdough is a miracle but there is a learning curve
My favorite recipe in the book is the sandwich loaf. Soft enough so you don’t chip a tooth when eating crust. Though I haven’t learned “why” you have to scald the milk first. It works so I won’t mess with it just yet. But there are is a lot more recipes to try. I kind of got the book dirty already with frequent use. And I have given away many loaves with positive reviews. This book won’t just sit on a shelf..it will be used. Sourdough is a miracle.. only flour and water and you have a starter and don’t need yeast. Thank you for writing the book

Warning to US users
Warning! Though it is published in the US, this cookbook is entirely in metric, using grams instead of cups. US users, you will need to weigh everything or convert it to ounces, then to cups, to use it. But it has some great recipes and tips on using sourdough.

This is just what I needed.
The book is phenomenal. Easy to read and understandable. Fantastic pictures and easy, yet detailed so anyone interested in sourdough bread should purchase this book. I bought the paperback version and can’t put it down. I’ve got my starter ready and can’t wait to try one of the recipes. Happy baking everyone!

Sour dough bread baking for beginners
Great book for beginners wanting to learn the basics of making sour dough bread. Instructions clear, but more illustrative pictures would have been helpful when it came to shaping and scoring the sourdough bread. Good variety of recipes including recipes for sour dough discard. Helpful troubleshooting tips.
