"Sarah Owens spent years baking conventional baked goods, only to slowly realize she had developed a crippling inability to digest or tolerate their ingredients. Unable to enjoy many of her most favorite foods, she knew she must find a health-sustaining alternative. She experimented with sourdough leavening, which almost immediately began to heal her gut and inspire her anew in the kitchen. Soon after, her artisan small-batch bakery was launched, and with that, a new way to savor and share nutritious sourdough breads and treats. Sourdough and other fermented foods are making a comeback because of their rich depth of flavor and proven health benefits. In Sourdough, Sarah demystifies keeping a sourdough culture, which is an extended fermentation process that allows for maximum flavor and easy digestion, showing us just how simple it can be to create a healthy starter from scratch. Moreover, Sarah uses home-grown sourdough starter in dozens of baked goods, including cookies, cakes, scones, flatbreads and tarts. Sourdough celebrates seasonal abundance alongside the timeless craft of artisan baking. Sarah Owens is the founder of BK17 Bakery, an artisan microbakery in Brooklyn, specializing in baking with sourdough."--Provided by publisher.
