Sourdough bread is not just a type of bread. It is a way of life. It reminds us of the simplicity and beauty of baking and the joy of creating something with our own hands. In this book, you will learn everything you need to know to become a sourdough expert. It covers the basics of making a sourdough starter: from choosing the right flour to feeding and maintaining your starter. You will explore the intricacies of fermentation and show how to master this process, and it also addresses shaping, scoring, baking, and storing the bread. Additionally, Christian Weij covers recipes for different types of sourdough bread, from classic country loaves to specialties like brioche, remesy bread, and breads with all kinds of additions. This book is a follow-up to the videos and instructions the author posted online during the first lockdown to further assist the readers of his book 'Verrot Lekker'. He takes you on a journey of discovery and shows you how to embrace and apply this enchanting sourdough lifestyle in your daily activities. Christian Weij is a fermentation specialist, food designer, and pop-up chef. He regularly gives inspiring cooking workshops for small and large groups and for professionals. A few years ago, he hung up his position as creative director at a communications agency to pursue his passion for delicious, real food and to focus entirely on sustainable food concepts.
