- A book about the pleasure of baking your own bread using natural
sourdough and healthy ingredients- Includes 90 taste-tested recipesBread
making is a skill, but it is also a pleasure, rooted in traditions that
have nurtured generations. Sourdough, pasta madre in Italian, is one of
bread-baking's most popular variations with its signature tang and
unique health benefits. It is also one of the easiest and most natural,
its starter made from flour, water, and time. Riccardo Astolfi has
mastered the art of baking with sourdough and here collects 90
taste-tested recipes for breads, as well as sweets and savories such as
brioche, sweet buns, traditional panettone, pancakes, bagels, pizza and
more. Each recipe calls for organic and locally available ingredients
and is tested for the home kitchen. Contents: Introduction; Everyday
recipes (breakfast, snacks and pizzas); Festive recipes.
