Adventures in San Francisco Sourdough Cooking & Baking - 1973

"Congratulations! You are about to start your sourdough adventure. You will find that sourdough cooking and baking is great fun. In addition you can make delicious baked goods for your family, your friends and yourself. This is because your sourdough starter is alive, and thus preparation and baking is a greater challenge with correspondingly greater rewards than when using a commercial yeast. However, because it is alive you must treat it carefully and with the great kindness that any living thing deserves. For this reason you will receive maximum benefits in sourdough baking if you read this and the following three chapters before embarking on your sourdough adventure in the kitchen. Sourdough is nature's leavening agent. It causes pancakes, breads, rolls, muffins, cakes and innumerable other products to rise before and during baking. This rising or leavening action caused by your sourdough starter produces the fine properties found in your baked goods..." - Adventures in San Francisco Sourdough Cooking & Baking - Charles D.
