Das ist Sauerteig (German Edition)

Jerry Staniewicz used to bake bricks: flat, dense loaves that nobody wanted a second slice of. Today, people are clamouring for his bread, and this book shows how he got to where he is today. It is written for amateur bakers, not professionals.

We’ll start with the basics: a reliable everyday loaf, ciabatta and a wholemeal loaf that actually rises. Next up are handmade sourdough pasta, gnocchi and Neapolitan-style pizza, and for those with a sweet tooth, there are moist brownies, New Orleans-style beignets and a triple-chocolate cake.

A separate section is devoted to leftover sourdough, so that none of the starter ends up in the bin.

Over 50 recipes, explained in a way that’s easy to follow and with a touch of humour.
