Learn to make your own sourdough starter for delicious breads, pizza, desserts, and more with this hardcover edition of Wild Yeast by Mouni Abdelli. With years of culinary experience and training, French baker Mouni Abdelli invites you to discover the joy and satisfaction of making your own natural sourdough starter, which offers unrivaled flavor and releases the full nutritional and digestive benefits of the bread you bake. Unlike mass-produced, industrially made bread, making your own homemade bread is a return to natural, nourishing ingredients, and an invitation to slow down and enjoy the simple and magical process of breadmaking.
With Abdelli's guidance and recipes, you will first learn to make your own sourdough starter from scratch, then learn to work it into multiple recipes based on your taste and the other ingredients. Learn to make many kinds of bread, including sourdough bread, baguettes, ciabatta, challah, tortillas, and pita. Use your starter to move beyond bread and make delicious waffles, brownies, pizza dough, donuts, and more. Over the course of the book, you will become a breadmaking expert as you learn to maintain your starter by feeding it, storing it, and using it to make the best homemade breads and baked goods you have ever tasted.
