I’ve been baking at home for about a decade, much of that following the FWSY method with great results. However, all of that changed when I switched to home milled flour. I started getting dense, flat rolls no matter what I tried.Finally I stumbled on one of Elaine Boddy’s books and immediately got a nice loaf which led me to purchase the Sourdough Bible as well. Now I’m consistently getting nice rises on all kinds of FMF mixes.I love her attitude towards bread. Simple, anyone can do it, nothing is a big deal. She really makes the art of baking easy for anyone to get into without making them intimidated.I’ve read a lot of bread baking books and I like how she breaks down each element involved in baking and how you can alter them to fit your personal environment. She teaches you how to easily adapt her recipes for your own use and understand your dough.Highly recommended. Thank you Elaine.

Gift for my wife. She loves it

When I started sourdough about a year ago it seemed so complicated and mysterious. Autolyse, discard, endless stretching and folding, it all quickly got overwhelming. I then stumbled across a video from this author, Elaine Boddy, who gave some very straightforward and no-nonsense advice and it helped me greatly in the process. She answered everybody's questions on Facebook in such a kind and helpful way so when I saw that she had a book available I purchased it. The book puts forth the general workings of baking sourdough in an easy manner and breaks down the recipes into small steps that anyone can follow. So nice to have a reference book instead of bits of printer paper. You will be happy with this book, I am! Picture is a seeded rye recipe from the book.
