Sourdough On The Rise With Cynthia Lair November 2 At BPA

Learn how to make delicious whole grain sourdough breads with recipes designed for home cooks-from Danish rye seed bread and English muffins to focaccia and flapjacks.

Fermented breads are remarkable for their digestibility, health-giving properties, and depth of flavor. With detailed instructions on how to create your own unique starter, recipes for twelve high-fiber, whole-grain breads, and another two dozen recipes to accompany them, you'll be able to bake bread the way it was originally done-using basic kitchen equipment, time, and lively ingredients. Slather a buttermilk biscuit with homemade Crème Fraîche Butter with Sea Salt or enjoy naan with Indian Spinach with Fried Paneer. In the morning, whip up yogurt flapjacks served with Lemon Blackberry Sauce, or take an orange, pecan, and fig loaf and make Figgy French Toast.
