Sourdough Cookbook for Beginners | Eric Rusch & Melissa Johnson
Sourdough bread is celebrated for its distinctive crispy crust, airy and springy crumb, and characteristic tangy flavor. This delectable loaf begins with a vital ingredient: a sourdough starter, which is a fermented, yeasty mixture. The Sourdough Cookbook for Beginners, created by the owner of Breadtopia, simplifies the process of making a variety of artisanal sourdough breads, demonstrating that it can be achieved with just a few ingredients, basic tools, and a bit of patience.
The cookbook provides clear instructions alongside helpful tutorial photos, guiding you through the first six days of nurturing your starter until it is robust and ready for baking. You will learn about the science behind how sourdough starters leaven bread, and tips on how to prepare your kitchen for the baking journey ahead.
