Do Sourdough by Andrew Whitley
One of the oldest yet simplest, tastiest and most nutritious breads you can make, sourdough needs only flour, water, salt and a little time. But what if time is the one thing you don t have? In Do Sourdough, Andrew Whitley, a baker of over 30 years who has changed the way we think about bread , reveals how the slow fermentation that s key to real sourdough can happen while we re asleep or at work. With this simple method, you can make this wonderful bread at home. Discover: the basic tools and ingredients you need to get started; how to create and refresh your own sourdough starter; recipes for basic loaves, sourdough pizza, ciabatta, crumpets and more; and a 7-day plan for the bread you don t devour immediately. The result isn't just fresh bread made with your own hands and in your own time. It s the chance to learn new skills, make something to share with family and friends, and change your world one loaf at a time.
Andrew Whitley has 'changed the way we think about bread' (BBC Food and Farming award judges). A baker for over 30 years, his company Bread Matters runs some of the most authoritative bread-making courses in the UK popular with enthusiastic amateurs and professional cooks alike. Originally a producer with the BBC Russian Service, Andrew left in 1976 to found the Village Bakery in the Lake District. Over the next two decades it became one of the country's leading organic bakeries and the first to supply Waitrose. In 2002 he did a Masters in Food Policy and wrote Bread Matters (Fourth Estate, 2006). It became a bestseller and won the Andre Simon 2006 Food Award. In 2008, he co-founded the Real Bread Campaign to bring good bread to every neighbourhood in the UK. In 2017, he founded research charity Scotland The Bread to re-establish a Scottish flour and bread supply that is healthy, equitable, locally controlled and sustainable. He installed a mill where the project's diverse grains are grown to produce organic wholemeal flour. Committed as ever to food justice, Andrew is setting new standards for a "People's Bread" made with organic wholemeal flour and sourdough, and is fermenting plans for a community bakery and bread lab.
