Once a "lost" artisan bread, we're now eating more sourdough than
ever before. People are choosing the tastier, more natural
alternative over processed white bread, and many want to bake their
own. And for homebakers, sourdough is the true test of every
aspiring bread-maker. Fickle, delicate, every loaf is unique. And
there are a LOT of pitfalls to be avoided. It's much more than
simply a food: sourdough is a science. So who better than Dr James
Morton, baking pedant and fermentation fanatic, to explain the
basics for both the uninitiated and more experienced bakers? James
talks the home cook through everything from starters, flours and
hydration, to kneading, shaping, rising, slashing and baking,
explaining how to achieve the perfect crust and crumb. With more
than 40 sourdough recipes including basic loaves and rolls,
baguettes, bagels and buns, clear step-by-step instructions,
troubleshooting tips and explanations of what works and why, Super
Sourdough is the new, accessible handbook that bakers everywhere
have been waiting for.

esteemed bakers from five continents. In this third edition of
Bread, professional bakers, home bakers, and baking students will
discover a diverse collection of flavors, tastes, and textures,
