About this book

Bake it, write it down, bake it better.

Every sourdough loaf is an experiment in flour, water, time, and temperature. The Sourdough Baking Journal gives every bake its own page, so you can repeat your best loaves and work out exactly what went wrong with the rest.

94 full-page bake records: date and recipe, flour blend with percentages, water, levain and salt percentages, total dough weight, and a full timeline from feeding the starter to pulling the loaf from the oven
Stretch and fold check boxes, bulk and cold proof times, dough and kitchen temperatures
Oven setup: Dutch oven, stone or steel, sheet pan, loaf pan, and steam
1 to 5 ratings for crumb, crust, rise, and flavor, plus room for what to change next time
Starter profile and a two-page feeding log to track ratios and time to peak
Baker's percentage reference with a worked example and a scaling formula
Bake index and a flour and ingredient inventory

7 x 10 in, big enough to write in with flour on your hands. A thoughtful gift for new sourdough bakers, home bread enthusiasts, and anyone who has named their starter.
