Artisan Sourdough Made Simple: A Beginner's Guide To Delicious Handcrafted Bread With Minimal Kneadi

Many bakers speak of their sourdough starter as if it has a magical life of its own, so it can be intimidating to those new to the sourdough world; fortunately with Artisan Sourdough Made Simple, Emilie Raffa removes the fear and proves that baking with sourdough is easy, and can fit into even a working parent's schedule! Any new baker is inevitably hit with question after question. Emilie has the answers.
