Bread Baker's Apprentice - the finest for novice or pro
2 of 2 found this helpful Saw this first in SF, on Fisherman's Wharf. Bought when I got home (on E-bay). Wanted it to work with my sourdough starter (possibly over 100 years old!) Found more than enough theory and practical applications. Some recipes, but the book encourages you to understand the theory and biological performance of yeast and fermentation - this leads to the production of outstanding breads. My sourdough bread is no longer lumps of tangy flour conglomerations, but really very nicely textured, highly developed tartness, sourdough bread of the "mid-coast California" area. I have learned, from the book, to keep my starter in two batches; one wet, the other dry, enabling the flavors to be lactic or acetic in background. The book is a must for those wishing to make great bread, sweet or sour!
