The Sourdough Bible: The Ultimate Resource for Great Bread at Home Hardcover – December 17, 2024

Extremely good book on sourdough. Very easy to follow, step by step instructions with images for each step in the process. Good recipes and lots of them. Really looking forward to making more of the different breads.

Terrific book, full of step by step photos and delicious recipes. Elaine Boddy breaks down the mystery surrounding sourdough bread making leaving the reader with confidence to give it a try. I especially love the sourdough crackers made with discard, it’s now my go to for crackers. The only recommendation I have is use the grams measurements.

I’ve been baking at home for about a decade, much of that following the FWSY method with great results. However, all of that changed when I switched to home milled flour. I started getting dense, flat rolls no matter what I tried.Finally I stumbled on one of Elaine Boddy’s books and immediately got a nice loaf which led me to purchase the Sourdough Bible as well. Now I’m consistently getting nice rises on all kinds of FMF mixes.I love her attitude towards bread. Simple, anyone can do it, nothing is a big deal. She really makes the art of baking easy for anyone to get into without making them intimidated.I’ve read a lot of bread baking books and I like how she breaks down each element involved in baking and how you can alter them to fit your personal environment. She teaches you how to easily adapt her recipes for your own use and understand your dough.Highly recommended. Thank you Elaine.
