What could be better than a slice of freshly baked bread with a porous crumb and a crispy crust? For Ken Forkish, the legendary American baker, bread is not just a pleasure, but a true passion! This passion inspired the... author to write this book, which rightfully received the "culinary Oscar" - the James Beard Award. Forkish's principle is perfectly honed formulas, repeatedly tested recipes, and clear instructions that will help you create bread like in the best bakeries in the world. Even if you've never baked before! In this book, everyone will find a recipe for themselves: beginner bakers can start with simple dough, bake bread on the same day, and enjoy the results of their labor. More experienced bakers will learn how to cultivate different types of sourdough from scratch and create amazing bread or pizza with complex and interesting flavors. But "Flour, water, salt, yeast" is not just a collection of recipes, but a real guide to baking. Forkish will detail, in accessible language, the inventory and methods, baking percentages, and baking charts. And, of course, the secrets of cultivating sourdough that will turn your bread into an exceptional product.
