SOURDOUGH: How To Make Bread At Home Using Whole Meal Flour And An Excellent Sourdough Starter In 2 Weeks. Bread Recipes. A Complete Step-By-Step Guide In The Kitchen. [A Cookbook]

Bake Sourdough Without the Guesswork 🍞

Making sourdough at home can feel like a mysterious project, but this guide strips away the confusion and replaces it with clear, manageable steps. Courtney May, a former project management consultant and author of technical guides in the In Easy Steps series, brings the same approachable style to bread baking.

The book begins with the basics: what sourdough is, the chemistry behind it, and the tools you need. Then it walks through creating a healthy sourdough starter in two weeks, with day-by-day instructions and troubleshooting along the way.
