How To Raise A Loaf And Fall In Love With Sourdough

How to raise a loaf and fall in love with sourdoughis a new accessible guide to bread baking by amateur baker Roly Allen.

Want to learn to bake bread without over-complicated recipes and pages and pages on kneading technique? This new book makes the key techniques of traditional baking easy to understand, with step-by-step photo instructions and a simple overview of the magical processes that turn wild yeasts into a living bakers starter, and a bowl of flour into a glowing crusty loaf.

Recipes include rye loaves, sourdough pizza, grissini, rolls and more, as well as suggesting surprising flavours (think chocolate, tomato, olives and linseed) to incorporate into your sourdough bakes. You dont need to be an expert baker to make your own sourdough at home; though once youre hooked, and want to get fancy, the book will tell you what lames, bannetons, brushes and stones to invest in. The small format and clear instructions make this the perfect baking guide for beginners!
