Learn the basics of wild yeast bread baking in a mini master class from Chad Robertson, world-renowned inventor of Tartine bread, and Tartine head baker Jennifer Latham.
If you've always been intrigued by the idea of baking beautiful, post-worthy loaves of bread from your own sourdough starter but have found the process confusing or intimidating, this is your easy entry into producing incredible loaves at home. Chad Robertson and Jennifer Latham have taught legions of professional bakers to bake bread with a deeply flavorful crust and a custardy crumb. Now they've simplified those lessons to talk you through their process.
In just a few hours of listening, you'll learn:
- How and why natural yeast makes the most delicious, healthy, and versatile bread
- What to know about flour (and the farmers and millers who produce it)
- How to establish and tend to your starter
- How to use your starter to reliably bake a spectacular rustic loaf at home from just four ingredients: natural leaven, flour, water, and salt

I’ve been baking sourdough for years and learned a TON

(1) benefits from organic whole grain/high extraction flours combined with high hydration and natural and long fermentation: potential for an incredible meal, balanced nutrition, no energy spike, no overfilled/sluggish repercussions, no risk of cancer from pesticides/herbicides.
(2) learned about glyphosate and high yield wonder bread wheat vs. heirloom native/regional wheat varieties
(3) learned about the pseudo-cereals: buckwheat, amaranth, etc.
(4) learned about the natural leavening process: creating and maintaining a starter, correct seed percentages
(5) booster levain process
(6) bassinage and 3-stage mixing techniques
(7) how, why, when to do float test
(8) the target dough temperature to aim for
(9) country loaf bread making process. The shaping parts are very informative and helpful, also the small points in the proofing steps, to let them get tall and fluffy then stow away. Wow.
Thanks a million!
Learned a ton! Great resource!

They provide invaluable tips on equipment and guide you through the development and maintenance of your own starter culture.
I would recommend listening to the full book prior to implementation so that you understand the process. This is not a path to Quick Bread but a short journey so worth the destination.
The start-stop, step by step format of the process is fantastic.
Anyone who follows Chad and Jennifer’s engaging approach should be destined for the perfect Country Loaf from their on oven.
The book also provides some great background music.
This is the next best option to having Chad and Jennifer beside you in your own kitchen.
