Before you bake
Do I need experience?
No. The ebook starts at the very beginning, with a jar, flour and water.
What equipment do I need?
A jar, an oven, and a pot or baking tray. A scale helps. The book covers your options.
How long until my first loaf?
A starter typically takes about a week to become active, and the book walks you through each day. Then you are ready to mix, ferment, shape and bake.
