Sandor Ellix Katz fermentation revivalist; author of The Art of Fermentation and other fermentation bestsellers It's impossible to read through the recipes in The Hungry Ghost Bread Book without being inspired to scoop out some sourdough starter and get mixing. Maurizio Leo author of James Beard Award winning The Perfect Loaf For the adventurous home baker and small - scale commercial baker alike The Hungry Ghost Bread Book is a delicious guide and a pious devotional to the wonderful awe - inspiring world of sourdough. What does it mean to take on the practice of bread? Jonathan Stevens co - owner of Hungry Ghost Bread in Northampton Massachusetts has pondered this question over thirty years of baking sourdough bread. Baking is a ritual that demands attention physical proximity close observation and continual adjustment. It begets sustenance fosters community and connects us with a 10,000 - year - old craft. The Hungry Ghost Bread Book is a window onto one baker's artisan approach to sourdough bread the culmination of his time in the tide of dough. Sourdough declares Stevens is not a style of bread. It is bread. The sourdough starter the microbial community used to inoculate bread dough transforms flour into something truly digestible by humans unlocking the nutrients that are otherwise inaccessible. Stevens's unique approach to working with sourdough can be summed up by three tenets each of which begins with more. More hydration more fermentation and more heat in the oven. Inside these pages you ll find tools techniques insights short - cuts ingredients warnings and a handful of haikus. You ll find instructions for creating and nurturing your own sourdough starter as well as formulas for a variety of loaves flatbreads crackers folds scones bagels and more including: Eight - Grain Bread Fig & Sage Bread Potato - Thyme Fougasse Sesame - Spelt Crackers Rosemary Walnut Scones The results are quite fantastic: bread that bites back heels worth chewing on and scraps worth toasting.
