Artisan Sourdough really can be simple
I've just gotten into making sourdough bread and had various levels of success following different blogs I've found. Unfortunately they didn't have consistent terminology or they assumed a certain level knowledge, so I struggled through the process. Enter "Artisan Sourdough Made Simple". The recipes are written so that anyone can follow them, including very basic ones for the total n00b. She breaks down each recipe into the primary steps, and explains common timelines (like, mix dough in the evening and rest, then give a few folds before letting it rest overnight. Do a few other small things and then bake at 10am). Then it's easy enough to shift it to fit your schedule. Plus she includes a *ton* of fun, delicious recipes (like cinnamon raisin swirl, chocolate chip, and pumpkin cranberry breads, as well as things like bagels, english muffins, and brioche). All in all, for someone like me who bakes bread maybe a couple times a month, I love having a trustworthy resource that will guarantee successful results every time.
