Do you dream of that artisan crunch and an airy crumb—baked by you, from scratch? With just flour, water, salt… and a living starter, this book walks you step by step to your first (and best) sourdough loaf. It's a complete, jargon-free guide: you'll learn to create and maintain your starter, grasp the simple science (hydration, gluten, temperature), and master the core techniques—autolyse, kneading/folds, shaping, and baking—with options for a home oven, Dutch oven, and more. Includes a rock-solid base recipe with variations, plus dedicated chapters to put your discard to work (pancakes, waffles, muffins, crackers, quick pizza—even brownies!), sweet breads (cinnamon rolls, babka, honey loaf), savory breads (focaccia, herb & olive, garlic bread), artisan pizzas, seasonal loaves, 100% whole grain and gluten-free options, advanced techniques (spelt, rye, kamut; cold fermentation; scoring), and a robust troubleshooting section with visual checklists. Picture cracking into a golden crust, hearing the loaf whisper as it cools, and serving slices that feed both body and soul. With realistic timelines, conversion tables, a glossary, and helpful resources, you'll go from "Where do I start?" to "I just baked my best bread!"—with less waste and more consistent results, week after week. Inside, you'll find, among other things: From-scratch starter and low-stress upkeep. Practical baking science: how to know when your dough is "ready" and adjust for your climate. Step-by-step techniques with visual cues and tests (poke test, windowpane). Base loaf + whole grain, seeded, baguette, and sandwich bread. Discard cooking: breakfasts, snacks, and quick doughs. Focaccia, 24-hour pizzas, festive and seasonal loaves. Wellness-friendly bakes: 100% whole grain, gluten-free (with psyllium), vegan and low-salt options. Advanced: alternative flours, fine fermentation control, and artistic scoring. Rapid troubleshooting for density, tang, rise, and crust. Take the first step today: add this book to your cart and bake your perfect first loaf this weekend. Your kitchen is one read away from smelling like your favorite bakery.
