"A beautifully written book by a true artisan. . . . Easy to read and likely to inspire, this book will take your bread-making to the next level.Sandor Ellix Katz, fermentation revivalist; author of The Art of Fermentation and other fermentation bestsellers Its impossible to read through the recipes in The Hungry Ghost Bread Book without being inspired to scoop out some sourdough starter and get mixing.Maurizio Leo, author of James Beard Awardwinning The Perfect Loaf For the adventurous home baker and small-scale commercial baker alike, The Hungry Ghost Bread Book is a delicious guide and a pious devotional to the wonderful, awe-inspiring world of sourdough. What does it mean to take on the practice of bread? Jonathan Stevens, co-owner of Hungry Ghost Bread in Northampton, Massachusetts, has pondered this question over thirty years of baking sourdough bread. Baking is a ritual that demands attention, physical proximity, close observation, and continual adjustment. It begets sustenance, fosters community, and connects us with a 10,000-year-old craft. The Hungry Ghost Bread Book is a window onto one bakers artisan approach to sourdough breadthe culmination of his time in the tide of dough. Sourdough, declares Stevens, is not a style of bread. It is bread. The sourdough starterthe microbial community used to inoculate bread doughtransforms flour into something truly digestible by humans, unlocking the nutrients that are otherwise inaccessible. Stevenss unique approach to working with sourdough can be summed up by three tenets, each of which begins with more. More hydration, more fermentation, and more heat in the oven. Inside these pages, youll find tools, techniques, insights, short-cuts, ingredients, warnings, and a handful of haikus. Youll find instructions for creating and nurturing your own sourdough starter, as well as formulas for a variety of loaves, flatbreads, crackers, folds, scones, bagels, and more, including: Eight-Grain Bread Fig & Sage Bread Potato-Thyme Fougasse Sesame-Spelt Crackers Rosemary Walnut Scones The results are quite fantastic: bread that bites back, heels worth chewing on, and scraps worth toasting. A return to real Wonder. "The Hungry Ghost feeds more than spirits with its spectacular breads."Saveur (naming Hungry Ghost Bread a "Great American Bread Bakery")
