Recommended at Mark Vetri cooking class I don't much care for sourdough bread and I don't have the patience to deal with a starter, in general.
However, there were two recipes in particular that I really enjoyed from this book,
The first was the milk bread recipe and the second the golden flax seed bread, Both of them were delicious and I really liked Mr, Lahey's noknead approach to the bread,
I may have to reconsider my attitude towards biga and give some of the other recipes a go! Wow! All you can imagine to learn and execute fab sourdough bread from the best bakery east of the Mississippi, in my opinion.
Lahey's method of natural levaining looked promising and in practice, indeed proved no pun intended to be so,
Truccio Sare one of the bakery's signature breads is the first recipe I tried from Lahey's book, He writes, "The flavors that result are out of this worlda sweet, chewy tangle of wheat, coffee, dark chocolate, and caramel.
" How could anyone resist a "chewy tangle of wheat, coffee, dark chocolate, and caramel" Happily, Truccio Sare is easily as good as Lahey promises.
Sure, it takes time. But it manages so much of that time on its own, Little babysitting is required.
And the results are stellar, I'm not sure I will ever go back to using commercial yeast!
There are a number of great looking, clearly laid out recipes some bread, some accompaniments for bread.

The breads I wanted to make were inspired by village bakeries in Italy .
. . It was big, imperfect, crusty bread, It was not meant for slicing, It was messy and rough and meant to be ripped and dipped and respected and treasured, it embodied thousands of years of agricultural traditions, baking practices, and table manners, I wanted to make bread like it: a dark crackling crust that split open to reveal a creamy white interior whose hot perfumes spilled out in a delirium of aromas.
Introduction, p
Natural leaveningalso known as sourdoughis responsible for the divine aromas and textures in the Roman breads I long ago fell in love with.
Its purpose in bread dough is not to sour it but to leaven, It can take a few days to get the process up and running, but if you are looking for bread with incredible flavors and textures, it is well worth the extra steps.
Many bakers are acquainted with a liquid sourdough startera slurry of water and flour that is allowed to sour as it fills with beneficial microes.
I follow an older and easier method of making sourdough breads, I use "old," soured dough itself, rather than a liquid starter,
Introduction, p
There is something to learn from every mistake, I don't think there is any way to make great bread, every time, without making the occasional dud, An extra loaf can always be turned into breadcrumbs,
A Baker's Reference, p
A healthy starter will smell sweet and yeasty, while a sourdough with a problematic community of bacteria will smell rather like extremely malodorous feet.
Making a Starter, p
Why refresh a starter Because you don't want the starter itself you want the wonderful microbes that live in itthat particular colony of wild yeast and bacteria that you have adopted .
. . The refreshed starter will be livelier than the first, and it will ferment much faster, It is important when transferring the starter to a new jar after it has been refreshed that the sides of the jar remain clean.
Any starter on the wall of the jar may encourage the growth of surface molds,
Making a Starter, p
I infinitely prefer using biga stiff starter a naturally fermented dough to a liquid starter for three reasons:it's what I learned as I traveled around Italy as an impressionable young manit's more stable than the liquid starter man people use, not to mention cleaner to work with andit's easier to keep around than a starter: you don't need to feed it, remember it, or stir it.
At the bakery we wait at leasthours from the time it is mixed before using a new batch of biga, but you can often wait longera healthy biga that is tightly covered and stored in the refrigerator will stay ready to use for a week.
"Jim's Biga", Making a Starter, p
There is a town outside of Rome called Lariano.
It grows a special kind of wheat, known as Lariano wheat, and the bread made in this town uses whole wheat Lariano flour.
You can however, make the bread with ordinary whole wheat flour, and it will still have an awesome, complex, earthy flavor.
My absolute favorite part is the crust, At a very high temperature, when the crust browns so thoroughly that it is just beginning to blacken in places, the whole wheat begins to caramelize.
The flavors that result are out of this worlda sweet, chewy tangle of wheat, coffee, dark chocolate, and caramel,

net/blog/bbbapril/ Cant wait to start my biga, bake and eat one of these gorgeous breads, I haven't looked at all the recipes, but I've seen enough to say the approach looks very practical, and the bread looks very tasty.
I'm returning it to the library now because I'm not quite at the point in my life where I'm ready to try keeping up with any sourdough starter, much less a whole new one different from what I've worked with before, but I have confirmed that I want to try this method once I have a
bit more time and brain space for it.
I may even bump up my rating a bit depending on how much we like the bread, once I actually make some! Beautiful clear recipes.
Tortino di Crusca was delicious and easy, Just watch the baking time, From the description I got really excited about this book, I was even more excited when I found this in the library, Can I just say What a let down!!!! First of all, there were hardly any pictures, Second of all the measurements were in grams Third, . . the techniques all seemed to be for someone who went to baking school, I did not enjoy this book as much as I had hoped, I reviewed this book sitelinkon my blog, This book barely makes it off of my counter top, Love his style, love his recipes, and love the stories behind how he has built his business, Delightful cookbook that I got for Christmas,
I learned about biga and I use it now instead of wet sourdough starter,
I, too, spent time in Italy so it was nice reading his recipes pay homage to his experiences and the cultural cooking.
I wish it had more pictures ideally pictures for every recipe including what he think are simple breads, like the white sourdough bread.
I am experimenting with sourdough more and more, so this book was helpful and inspiring, I used the authors instructions and pictures to begin my own sourdough starter, Founded in, Sullivan Street Bakery is renowned for its outstanding bread, which graces the tables of New Yorks most celebrated restaurants.
The bread at Sullivan Street Bakery, crackling brown on the outside and light and aromatic on the inside, is inspired by the dark, crusty loaves that James Beard Awardwinning baker Jim Lahey discovered in Rome.
Jim builds on the revolutionary noknead recipe he developed for his first book, My Bread, to outline his nofuss system for making sourdough at home.
Applying his Italianinspired method to his repertoire of pizzas, pastries, egg dishes, and café classics, The Sullivan Street Bakery Cookbook delivers the flavors of a bakery Ruth Reichl once called “a church of bread.
