10 Minute Sourdough: Breadmaking For Real Life by Vanessa Kimbell – Signed Copy

£18.99

This revolutionary book is based on the way Vanessa made sourdough bread when she had three young children and literally no time to bake. When she found herself buying bread instead of making it, she rethought the process, adapting it to work with minimal time, minimal effort and as little washing-up as possible, but without compromising on nutrition and flavour. We know this book is going to banish every prejudice you have about sourdough, including the myths that sourdough is time-consuming, difficult and elitist. It is a foolproof guide for busy people who think they do not have the time to make sourdough.

This book is about making sourdough that fits in with real life: how to incorporate that long, slow fermentation into everyday bakes with just 10 minutes of active work, so that people can actually bake and enjoy the most delicious bread in the world. There is also a course to go with this book.

There are many reasons why people bake sourdough: it is easier to digest, more nutritious and absolutely delicious. However, it has a reputation for being tricky and time-consuming. The traditional beautiful boule is iconic, but it is demanding, and most people do not have the skills or time to makes bread like this, especially during the working week.

10-Minute Sourdough follows a year of recipes at the Sourdough School. The academic year starts in the autumn with the new harvest. The recipes include tin loaves, cakes, focaccia-style loaves that make delicious suppers and simple pizza, as well as several celebration recipes.

The book includes observations about each recipe, and thoughts about the seasonal ingredients.

Each recipe can be made over 36 hours but with just 10 minutes’ actual work in total (excluding baking time).

10-Minute Sourdough makes baking sourdough simple, easy and appealing.
