How to use young, mature and old leaven to create different textures and flavour profiles. In Part One, we start at the heart of what sourdough is and why it is important, for personal and environmental health as well as cultural concerns. We explain the principles of “leavenology”, or fermentation. Part Two covers how to build different starters from scratch, plus how to feed and maintain them. Part Three shows you how to use a starter to seed a leaven, and how to control the character of the leaven through the ratio of starter to leaven, the ambient temperature and the length of fermentation. The Great Leaven Race shows exactly what a difference time makes! And in Part Four we give you our masterclasses, using formulas that demonstrate the range of effects you can achieve by varying the maturity, quantity, nature and vigour of your leaven. · White sourdough with mature leaven · 100% rye sourdough · Brown sourdough · Sourdough lavash · Sourdough pancakes This best-selling online course is a highly-focused, practical guide to the do’s, don’ts and desirables of making, managing and baking with sourdough cultures.
