Discovering Sourdough EBook

The downloads are fixed. Thank you for your support.

Posted by Donna on Jan 14th, 2012

Hi, I've been trying to download your ebook, Discovering Sourdough, but when I click on the download button, it takes me to a Page Not Found. I've tried it on different browsers, so I don't think that's the problem.
Your website is really well done, and full of wonderful information. I'm new to sourdough baking, but not to bread making, so I'm interested in all that I can learn to experiment with. I have an excellent starter that was given to me by a friend who developed it from the wild yeast.
Thank you!
Donna

Okay, I got part 1 and 2 to download. Now I cannot download part 3. What's going on?? Please let me know.

Posted by Ann from AK on Jan 14th, 2012

I would really love to start... but part 1 PDF link is broken. I am so willing to donate for the lessons and techniques I'll be learning. Please let me know when this link is fixed. I have been gifted a really cool starter for artisan bread making, and I am dying to try it out!!

Posted by Harriet on Jan 14th, 2012

Hello, This looks like a brilliant site with loads of helpful tips. Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge. I tried to download the pdf files but the links don't seem to work, they took me to a 'page not found' notice. I would really like to get hold of the book as a download, is there somewhere else I could download it from or could you email it?
Thank you again,
Harriet

I do like to know how to do the right sourdough, I live in Spain but I am Danish, difficult to find the right weed?

None of the pdf e-books was available for download. All 3 clicks greeted me with 'page not available'.
Additionally, your calculator for converting starters is not usable on a mac. Your pc-only converter locks out all mac users. An Excel version might make it more available to a wider audience.
Would have been nice.

Posted by Martha D on Jan 13th, 2012

Thanks for your book. The information is outstanding. I have been baking sourdough bread for a year and a half. It has been quite an experience. Your book has provided me very valuable information. I am looking forward to making better sourdough bread. Many thanks!

I like the recipes...so i am going to try them.

Posted by Regina on Jan 12th, 2012

Thanks for the book. I have started reading and am excited to learn about sourdough. I have been baking for a couple weeks now (from a started i bought dried) and while my bread has good flavor the texture is just not right and I dont know what im doing wrong ---- yet.

Thanks again

Posted by Roy Lewis on Jan 11th, 2012

Thanks a bunch for this great ebook! I love baking sourdough and this book is a great guide. I have one request. I like to use my Kindle for recipes, but your .pdf version does not work with it. Something about part one using features that kindle doesn't support. Even converting it to .mobi (kindle format), the columns interleave. Also, the table of contents don't link. I would greatly appreciate a version that would work well with the Kindle.

Thanks.

Posted by Michelle on Jan 9th, 2012

i love this book! So many great recipes. I have learned so much from the info at the beginning of each book as well. I can't believe that this is free download. Thanks for all the work you put In this book!

Thanks for the opportunity to have this detailed info. I love sourdough.

Sorry you are having trouble Keith, there is no password needed. Try a windows platform computer and see if that works.

I downloaded the book to my computer (Elonex1 Notebook) but when I tried to read it the PDF viewer said "This document is encrypted and can't be accessed. Please enter the document's password".

So as you can imagine I'm very disappointed. I'm sure it must be a very good book, just the thing I might need, being a beginner.

I cannot find any reference to a password on your site, so how did other people manage to read the files?

Posted by barbara on Dec 22nd, 2011

Thank you for this. I am a sourdough lover.

Posted by Kay on Dec 9th, 2011

Thank you so much for the e-book. I am fascinated with the sourdough. I have been using a starter I made over a year ago. The recipe came from an old book I have by Ada Lou Roberts. I have made many of her recipes, but the sourdough was not so good and my husband keeps wanting something more like the San Francisco bread we got out there. I know mine will not be the same (different parts of the country), but I can't wait to try your recipes. They look wonderful. And the starter that is on day 6 is doing great. I'm really impressed! Thank you again.

Posted by Ryan Cairns on Dec 5th, 2011

Wow I can't believe that I just downloaded this for free! Thank you so much. This looks brilliant.

Thank you very much for the E-books. I can't wait to try your recipe!

Posted by Don on Nov 30th, 2011

Thank you Teresa for guiding me to my first SUCCESSFUL sourdough loaf.
Have also made the biscuits which were a huge surprise as they turned out just like some we had at on the East coast and try as we might - could not get the recipe for.
The waffles can't be beat either.
Am thoroughly enjoying my sourdough experience - this time.

Thanks so much for sharing!!

Posted by Ken C. on Nov 16th, 2011

Thanks for the E-Books. I am looking forward to making some awesome sourdough bread.

Posted by Victor Grund on Nov 15th, 2011

I'm mostly through part I of your book and I must say, it is an impressive effort. You should consider it making it available in Kindle format. It converts OK, but it would be great to have it in the native format.

Posted by Marjolein on Nov 13th, 2011

Hi,

Thank you very much for this E-book.
I want to start making sourdough-breads so this is very inspiring.
I will start with reading your instructions!

Posted by Karen on Nov 8th, 2011

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I got a starter a while back from my sister, but every recipe I tried came out like a brick. I've finished reading part I and I made the 'First Loaf.' It came out great. I'm vegitarian, so I don't have a turkey roaster. I used a pan of boiling water with a brick in it at the bottom of the oven to add humidity. The bread was light and the crust - yum. I can't wait to get to the really sour ones.

The only problem that I'm having is slashing the bread. I don't think that my knives are sharp enough. They seem to dent the bread instead of cutting it.

I also tried the sour dough waffles. We are on a diet so I omitted the oil/butter. They came out great. My 4 kids, husband and myself all loved them.

Thank you again,
Karen

Posted by Nick on Nov 7th, 2011

Thank you for the eBook, I will read as much as can. I am very interesting to learn how to bake excellent, healthy, and delicious bread.
Thank you,

Posted by Maria B on Oct 30th, 2011

I'm excited to read about what has been going on with my loaves. I've already been trying by myself for the summer and now I'm making myself a little bit nuts. I ready only about five or six pages before I began to see not only my wrong turns by why it might be happening!

Thanks so much!

Posted by Charles Sifers on Oct 28th, 2011

I learned about this site and the e-book on the Sourdough Companion website. I look forward to reading them, and hopefully make better bread.
Thank you.

Hello,
I haven't been baking long with Sourdough. I really don't know alot about the process of useing the starter in a bread recipe.
However, After looking thru all the tutorials on the site I feel the process will become alot eaiser to understand.
Thank you to all who have put this fine website togeather.
I'm sure you know how much help you are to every one like me.
Again I thank you,
Bud

Posted by Tatiana on Oct 16th, 2011

I'm in the beginning on my way of home baking. I'd like to learn sourdough baking very much. Thanks for making this book available.

Posted by Steve Cross on Oct 13th, 2011

At first I used the recipes on the web site and found them to be quite good. I had consistent failure before that. I've now downloaded the book and look forward to using it regularly.

One thing I have changed. The baking stone and broiler cover work much better that just a baking stone in an oven. However, using a Dutch Oven (a heavy cast iron pot) heated in the oven works even better than the broiler cover. Plus, you don't have to keep opening the oven and spraying water under the cover.

Posted by Glendora on Oct 12th, 2011

I am excited to get started. Thanks for making this book available.

Posted by Deborah on Oct 8th, 2011

I first learned about sourdough from you over two years ago when doing a web search for cinnamon rolls. I also learned at that time it is possible to have hurricanes in the northwest! I was so fascinated with the idea that one could bake sourdough at home, I eventually obtained a starter and with your website instructions, launched out into the wonderful world of sourdough baking. My husband will not accept any other bread or biscuit, and we are Southern! BTW, the cinnamon rolls are our favorites. Many thanks for you continued kindness and generosity. And great success with this e-book!

Posted by Rose on Sep 30th, 2011

Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to do this. I LOVE all the pix and your directions! It's awesome!!!! I want to make some and am wanting to learn how to make it. Got to find someone with some starter. Am checking around now. I know of one friend but didn't want to bother her right now since she's going through a lot of stuff. Anyway thank you again!

Posted by Leslie Johnson on Sep 28th, 2011

Thank you for all the great information about sourdough baking. Your pictures and explanations are so helpful. What beautiful bread you make! My first loaf was your sour rye. Mine spread a lot more than your example loaf did, but the flavor, crumb and crust were wonderful. The recipe did not specify whether the starter was 100% or 166%. I assumed 166% and added water and decreased flour to compensate for my 100% rye starter. That may have explained the loose dough and spreading...or I just may have proofed too long! It makes great sandwiches. Thanks again.

Posted by Bill Young on Sep 25th, 2011

THANK YOU for the well written detail and photographs. I am starting this new adventure of learn by doing, with Part 1 of the Sourdough e-book, as a beginner. Bill

Just downloading this for now, Have used sourdough for years but not totally happy with most of the recipes. Do experiment with different recipes-mix and match with some sucess. Hoping this will prove better than others.

Posted by Jessica on Sep 7th, 2011

I am so happy and excited I found this website. I just started my sourdough and I am having trouble finding recipes. I have to search no more :)

Posted by Lloyd Lande on Sep 7th, 2011

thanks. this is the best information I've read on sour dough. I created a culture a couple of months ago and have used it for pizza a couple of times. This week I decided to make a couple of sourdough boules and found your work in the knick of time. I read through the entire thing and it really helped with my technique and ability to recognize when the loafs were ready. I used a Paul Rhinehart recipe from his BBA book. Started with a small amount of 100% hydration to build a starter and then the starter to build the final dough with each phase they were refrigerated overnight. The results far surpassed my expectation. Crust, crumb, texture and taste amazing. Best bread I've had since leaving the east coast. Really good bread is rare in Phoenix AZ... Now I need to work on getting it a little more sour. The sourness was on the mild side but excellent taste... couldn't stop eating it and had to give half a loaf away. Thanks.. You should consider publishing this into a paperback... it would benefit many

Posted by leon braun on Aug 28th, 2011

am new to sourdough baking, but enjoy the process and love the flavor and using natural yeast/bacteria to raise bread. The book seems very technical, but am looking forward to reading through and learning about sourdough.

I have been baking sourdough bread for about 15 years. Your book is by far the best resource I have used. I want to thank you for putting it on line and I would like to purchase some northwest starter from you, if it is for sale. I will certainly donate to your site,as soon as I re-create my pay pal account. Thanks Jim

Your ebook is a treasury of information, and has resulted in a quantum leap in my breadbaking ability! I recommend it to my friends and hope it will someday be published as a book.

I couldn't find a link to your e-mail to report a discrepancy, though, so I will report it here.

In Part III, on page 49:

1/3 cups bread flour 1 lb 3.4 oz

The table following this list correctly states 4 1/3 cups.

Thank you so much for making this available as a download. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I am really looking forward to doing so. I have tried making sourdoughs with a bit of success, but there is so much to learn. Maybe I can even teach my husband to like sourdough! Thanks again.

Posted by Amand Onus on Aug 2nd, 2011

Hi Teresa,
I haven't read your book yet, but I have three loaves sitting on the bench having just been shaped with the help of your video on you tube. So thank you for that. I am loving making and eating !!! sourdough and I'm sure your book will be very informative. So thank you in advance. Cheers from Australia

Posted by Robert on Jul 29th, 2011

Hi Teresa,

Thank you for a fabulous book! I use it all the time.
There is one mistake (I think) in the Soft White Pan Sourdough. The recipe is for two loaves. It seems like a lot of dough for two loaves. Near the end it says break the dough into two pieces and shape the loaves. Then in the next paragraph, it says "bake all three in a preheated oven ...".

So I don't know if the recipe is for two loaves or three. Also, it says slash the loaves down the middle, but they haven't been slashed in either picture. So maybe you can clarify that as well.

Thank you again.

Posted by Paula on Jul 28th, 2011

I wish I found this six months ago when I started baking sourdough. Your first experiences sound like mine. Now I've had enough success to keep going - and people willing to eat my experiments! I still have lots left to figure out, there are so many variables. Thank you for sharing your insights. I've read a number of books and you pull the pieces together well.

Teresa, thank you so much for sharing such hard earned knowledge and experience with the baking world! I am still trying to improve my sourdough breads and know that your wisdom and guidance will be a tremendous help.

I am sorry your publication did not materialize, but, somehow I am sure you will be blessed for your generosity. Your book is dedicated to the Holy Spirit....how beautiful!....and we all know that the Lord "loves a cheerful giver"!

Know that you and yours are in my thoughts and prayers for special blessings!

I am looking forward to re-discovering sourdough. I stopped making it after I lost the ability to knead but I have recently started experimenting with recipes for my bread machine.

Hi, Teresa!
I'm from Belarus and got the reference to your book and blog from Mariana-Aga.
Thank you so much for your outstanding work! Now I've got so much to test on my kitchen!
By the way, this is my bread - http://pryshyvalka.livejournal.com/5413.html. I bake the bread according to our Belarusian traditions, and named it Žorny which means millstones. Someday this will be my trademark :).
And again thanks you very much!

Thanks Chef Ted for finding that typo. It was not only on page 129 but page 134 as well. They both have been fixed and the newest version has been uploaded. I appreciate it! Teresa

Posted by Tom on Jun 27th, 2011

Teresa,

Finding your site about six months was a turning point in my attempts at making sourdough bread! When I found your site I had a usable starter but lacked the techniques to produce bread that I could be proud of consistently. Your site changed that.

I tend to learn best when I can watch something being done. Once again your site came through with how to do videos. I viewed “Shaping Sourdough Loaves” several time until I could do it right, well almost, I still have a tough time forming a really good batard but I’m working on it.

Now you have the downloadable e-book that is filled with enough information and techniques, that it will take me months if not years to try them all. Your love of sourdough baking and the skills that you have developed shine throughout the three parts of the book. I’m sure I will get many years of use of all three sections as I work to develop my skills. Thank you!

Posted by James on May 18th, 2011

I just wanted to say that your eBook has been a lot of help! I fell in love with bread about a year and a half ago and have been mostly self taught. I had been keeping a sourdough starter for a while but all of the recipes I had been using it for used commercial yeast as well. For some reason it had never even occurred to me that it was possible to just use wild yeast to make bread (especially not at home). Then I came across a recipe for Pain Au Levain and I became completely fascinted by the idea. Of course I had to try it but ended up with a flat, tasty, pale brick all three times I had attempted it. I was on a mission to find out why but was really surprised about how little information there is on sourdough breads and how contradictory each source is from one another. I'm sorry to ramble. In short your book was really helpful (and will continue to be so) and makes the world of sourdough so much clearer and more accesible to a 24 year old with a limited budget. Discovering Sourdough for me really reminded me why I became obsessed with bread in the first place.

Posted by Raoul Rede on May 10th, 2011

Wow, thank you so much for the free ebook! I'm very new to sourdough baking and sometimes you have to search a lot to find recipes in baking books. This is going to be my reference manual. I can't wait to try some of the recipes.

Thanks again.

Great book!
Thank you: hope to learn how to bake with wild yeast

Posted by Janet Smithson on Jan 28th, 2011

Can't wait to try some of these!

Posted by Julie Rossberg on Jan 26th, 2011

Thank you! I have been making sourdough now for a couple months and my dough always comes out pretty much the same. I suspect there are cultural differences with respect to how I treat my sourdough and things I might do with the loaves to vary the resulting bread's texture, flavor, etc. I am hoping to glean some information about this from your book. Even if I don't, I'm sure I will gain much insight!

Posted by Megan on Jan 23rd, 2011

I am a complete beginner, just learning about the art of sourdough... I've made a couple of starters in the past with pretty average results so I'm really looking forward to following your instructions and saying goodbye to store-bought bread forever!
Thanks so much for all your effort- you are one generous soul to make such a comprehensive volume available to us all :)

Posted by Keith R on Jan 20th, 2011

Hi,

i think your website is the best i've found on the internet. thank you for sharing all of your information.

i've been baking sourdough for awhile now, and my main problem is that i can't get a really holey crumb. a lot of times, it seems there are gluey dark strands throughout the crumb. that's the best way i can describe it. any suggestions to remedy that problem?

thanx
keith

Posted by sa'ada on Jan 19th, 2011

hello,

i'm downloading your book now. thank you so much. i've failed with my starter all 3 times that i have tried. so, i will read from your book and try again. thanks for your help.

Posted by admin on Jan 19th, 2011

Hello Teresa,

I have some questions about your ingredients off the starter.
At first you suggest too use apple cider. But apple cider is made with yeast. How do you get rid off the yeast? Because I do not want to have yeast in my starter.

I hope you have time too anser.

Greatings, Marina.

Edited by Teresa:

Hi Marina, heat the apple cider, if that is all you have. Heating will kill the yeasts. In the U.S. most bottled cider is heat sealed or pasteurized. You can also try just water, it often works just fine.

Hi Teresa,

Found on you tube your great vedios, I am from Australia. You explain everything so easier, thankyou once again and God Bless!

Posted by Tim Schmidt on Jan 12th, 2011

Your book looks great!

I use to brew beer and fought the wild yeasts, I guess it's time to join forces with them instead.

Thanks,
Tim

Posted by Michele on Jan 8th, 2011

Thank you for this! I have benn unable to get a sourdough loaf I am completely satisfied with using wild yeast alone. Lord willing I will learn what my problem is from your material.

Posted by Emmett Edwards on Dec 30th, 2010

I have been working at getting a starter going for the past month or so and I do believe it is working. I made my first loaf yesterday and it is really nice. I am guite pleased with it and really look forward to learning more techniques about sourdough from your e-book.

Posted by Miki on Dec 26th, 2010

I downloaded your ebooks about 2 months ago and have been baking with it ever since. I had a copy center make a spirl bound book for me of just Part I and that has worked really well. I have yet to use any recipes from the other parts of the book. My family likes the "First Loaf" recipe the best so it's hard to get them to eat the other ones I try. Thank you so much for all the time and energy I'm sure you had to put into making this book. It has really helped me to finally understand baking with sourdough. I finally had the "Ah, Ha" moment.

Posted by Michael Slade on Dec 25th, 2010

After having your sourdough starter for several years, I just came back to your site and discovered your ebooks.

They make a great read- I've already found several things I didn't know about sourdoughs!

In part one (all I've read so far) I found a typo - 'fie' should be 'five' on page 48, lower right hand column and a missing image for Oat and Honey Soft Sourdough on page 107.

Many thanks for writing and making it available on the Web.

thanks again and Happy Holidays,
Michael Slade

Posted by kathy on Dec 22nd, 2010

I discovered you on Youtube, which led me to this site. I downloaded Discovering Sourdough...if the book is only half as good as the presentation, it will be astounding! Can't wait to get started reading and baking.

Posted by Marina Affourtit on Dec 9th, 2010

Thank you so much for downloading your book!

Posted by Bruce on Dec 5th, 2010

Teresa -- I'm a big fan. you helped get me started baking SD about 18 months ago. I am still using the original formula I got from your website then, although I have changed the process some. My bread is good... everyone loves it and we haven't bought bread in two years. I'm hoping to go a little further now and do something cool with the salt rising bread I saw on FB. You also helped me pick out a better mixer after I burned up my Kitchen Aid -- I got a Viking BTW. Anyway, thanks in advance for your book and all the assistance I have received from your website and the forum.

Hello Teresa,
as a sourdough baking novice from Germany I´m greatly impressed how much there is to know about the subject.
I read about your site in a german blog about breadbaking and will immediatly start reading your wonderful book.

Thank you so much for the work you have done for all of us who want to learn all about sourdoughbaking

Teresa,

I haven't visit your blog for quite some time and just check about it tonight and discovered your new e-book. Thank you for your kindness for letting people to download your e-book. I started baking sourdough just about one year. Basically I learned sourdough from your web-site when I discovered last Decemmber. I thank you once again for all your work on telling others all about how sourdough baking.

I made my own starter with 100% hydration and have been experiencing a lot of your recipes. I am learning and continuing learning from you new e-book. I know I will be very busy and cannot wait to try out all your recipes (if I can!). Please keep up your good work and may the Lord always keep you and bless you.

Posted by admin on Dec 2nd, 2010

I am sorry to be a pest. Check page 38 of Part II again, the list of ingredients is missing a "2" in front of cup for the starter.

Edited by Teresa:

Hi Ted, I appreciate any typo's notifications. However, I checked and do not see a missing "2". Try downloading part II again and see if maybe I had already caught that mistake.

Posted by admin on Dec 2nd, 2010

TERESA,

IN PART 2, PAGE 67, SPICEY JALAPENO LOAF, THE MEASUREMENTS OF THE RYE FLOUR AND THE WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR IN THE PREFERMENT ARE NOT CONSISTANT FROM THE RECIPE TO THE BOX BELOW IT --- IN THE RECIPE IT LISTS 21 OZ. OF RYE AND IN THE BOX IT SAYS 2.1 OZ.RYE --- I BELIEVE THE GRAM WEIGHTS ARE CORRECT. ALSO THE TOTAL INGREDIENTS WEIGHTS DO NOT ADD UP TO THOSE YOU LIST IN THE BOX.

TONYK

edited by Teresa:

Hi Tony, not sure what you mean, the rye flour listed is 1.8 oz in both the recipe and the box.The Whole wheat flour is listed as 2.1 oz in both.

Posted by Irene M. Fredericks on Nov 30th, 2010

I've long had an interest in sourdough bread baking, but having searched the internet for information, left me only fragments of the knowledge that I'm seeking. Now it is all here in one place!!!
Thank You!!!

Posted by Deka on Nov 29th, 2010

Dear Lady,
I know of your desire to be published into a money makeing experience and I wish I could support it. Hopefully this e-book will help you gain respect in the SD bread baking world so you can be published.
I have down loaded your book and not donated because I am unemployeed and money is tight(therefore I am makeing more home made baked goods).
Once I am gainfully employeed, I will be makeing a donation to support you! You more than deserve it!!!!!
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge of the SD world.

Thank you again for your ebook on sourdough. I have successfully made a starter, the abelskivers, pancakes and the oat & honey sourdough bread! I wish you could've had your book published. I would definately have bought it. I checked out many books about sourdough baking and none of them were as clear and had the breadth of recipes as your book does. I am looking forward to trying more of your recipes. Thank you again!!

This book is well worth the wait! It is by far the best I have read. I did not dream I could make amazing artisan bread in my own home in my ordinary kitchen. You taught me how. I have been making the basic white and rye recipes since I purchased the starter from you. I can not wait to try these other recipes. Thanks for being so gracious and sharing it with us. I trust that everyone who downloads this amazing book donates something to show appreciation for all your hard work.

Congratulations Teresa! I've been baking for 40 or so years and have, mistakenly, believed that hydration was by flour:liquid weight not volume as explained on page 60 or so. Thanks for your book and your caring! Best, Pete

Well done!

I am so impressed with the quality of your work and your generosity. I'm just starting out with sourdough baking, and although the "usual" bopoks and blogs have been helpful, your book has already answered quite a few questions that I have not been able to find answers to. The pictures are especially herlpful.

Thank you so much.

You're very kind to share your book with us. The recipes look great. My newborn starter isn't ready for use yet (followed some instructions from the forum), but I'm looking forward to using it in your recipes.

Teresa,

Thank you so much for allowing us to have such a wonderful book on baking fabulous and artisan sourdough breads. I will reach for this book, I'm sure, more than any other. It is so detailed and has such beautiful pictures to help see what you will be making. I've counted the pages on part I, II, and III and you have 391 pages. Amazing!

I'm sure someday this book will be on the number one list of anyone who is interested in making down to earth sourdough breads. In the meantime continue to try to publish it, don't ever give up on that.

Your friend in sourdough baking,

Janie
