👀 What Else Is Inside?

This eBook covers all 8 steps of the bread-making process, with tips and tricks along the way. But I've also included my top tips for maintaining your sourdough starter, adjusting the sourness in your bread, and guides to shaping, adding inclusions (like nuts and seeds), and schedules for baking when you want to.

If you're looking to make amazing sourdough bread at home, this eBook will get you there.

You Might Be Wondering...

This new eBook has some of the same core principles as in my physical book (the 8 steps to baking, how to make a starter, etc.), but there's a lot of new content, too.

  • Recipe for an open-crumb sourdough with tips on how to get there
  • More new recipes for things like chocolate + cherry rolls, apricot sourdough, pikelets (like pancakes, but different!), and more.
  • Techniques for adjusting the sour level in your loaves

And probably the biggest difference:

The eBook comes with live spreadsheets for all the bread recipes in the book so you can modify them as you want (scale up down, change ingredients, etc.). Plus, blank sheets to make your own formulas and my bread baking notes sheet.

So it's a mix of some core process material from my book plus new recipes and guides along with those live spreadsheets.

I see this as a companion to my hardcover cookbook, not a replacement!

Some of my favorites:

  • Beginner's Sourdough Bread
  • Pain de Mie (soft sandwich bread)
  • Apricot and Walnut
  • Durum, Green Olive, and Sesame
  • 50% Whole Wheat Back-To-School Sandwich Bread
  • Open-Crumb Sourdough
