About the Book
Return to the roots of what makes bread special—made from scratch, using just a handful of fresh ingredients, and creating memories through every slice. Organic cottage baker Emily Harryman gently guides you through the nuances of sourdough so you can bake the way the masters do: with confidence, grace, and a fascination with the small details that take a loaf from good to exceptional.
We begin with The Plain Jane Loaf, Emily's beginner-friendly, tried-and-true recipe that ferments in just a few hours, followed by an extended cold proof, for a loaf with a richly complex flavor and a gorgeous crackly crust. From classic bagels and baguettes to new takes on old favorites such as Herbes de Provence and Bourbon Pecan Banana Bread, this collection has a recipe for every occasion.
Discover the joy of baking sourdough that honors traditions of the past while embracing the present moment, providing delicious, heirloom breads that will grace your family's table for years to come.
