So, you’ve heard of sourdough, but you don’t understand what it means. You might wish to learn more. You might want to see if that is something you might be interested in. This book will clarify the basics of sourdough and hopefully provide you with enough details to make the decision.
It’s the way people used to make “up” bread and other baked goods before those handy yeast packets, or baking powder containers were in the local stores. Before these became available (around 1850), the way to “leaven” bread was to add a bit of sourdough “starter” to the dough and enable it to rise over time.
Since sourdough has long been around, no one knows exactly how it started. Most people assume it started to get ready for baking after somebody mixed flour and water and left the mixture for too long. They found after a while that this started to spread. They realized the bread was easier and lighter to eat when they saw this happening and then baked it down.
People then discovered that if they saved some of the unbaked dough after it had risen, it would rise faster and combine it with the next batch of bread. It could also be split to share this unbaked dough with others, and it became known as a sourdough starter.
This book is a comprehensible guide on how to learn the technique of baking sour dough breads. The technique is easy once you know it, but there are some pitfalls. With this book you´ll learn to avoid the pitfalls and how to treat them in order to bake your own epic bread. The key to successful sourdough breads is the sourdough culture a.k.a. starter itself. Therefore in this book we’ll pay some extra attention to the starter and how to keep it alive. Nevertheless the book also covers the other steps that one has to take to bake sourdough breads as well as some recipes on breads that will make you known as the king of bread! Once you know this simple technique to bake sourdough breads, buying breads from the store is out of question!
