Summary: Delicious recipes
Review: This is a wonderful book for anyone who likes sourdough bread. The recipes are delicious, but some are time consuming. This book takes you step by step through the process, explaining everything you need to know.

It starts out with a brief history lesson. Then an overview of all the ingredients you'll be using is covered including many flour types. Various ways to mix, knead & shape the dough are then mentioned.

I love how the book explains how to modify the recipes to suit your taste. Several different crust glazes & starters are given. I also found the tips section covering everything from ingredients to leftover bread very helpful.

Recipes include main courses, multi/single grain, fruit & nut breads. Popovers, pancakes, waffles & a special section on bread machine breads are also included. You must try the cinnamon-pecan coffee cake, & the pizzas.
