The Sourdough School: Sweet Baking recipe book is an indispensable guide to exploring the techniques and ingredients involved in successful sweet sourdough baking. A companion to the bestselling The Sourdough School, it focuses on sweet recipes that are gut-friendly and rely on natural sweetness where possible. Classic recipes and new ideas for flavour combinations offer bakers an alternative method of baking sourdough cakes, tarts, pancakes, doughnuts, panettones, pretzels – nothing is off limits. If it rises, it can be made with sourdough.
The Sourdough School Sweet Baking book features recipes for fermented compotes and syrups to accompany your bakes. Vanessa explains how sourdough can help to maintain the health and diversity of your gut microbiome, which in turn improves mental health. New studies are unveiling links between the microorganisms in our gut and our mood and behaviour, and Vanessa is at the forefront of this research.
The book also contains the launch of Vanessa’s Botanical Blends – a ground-breaking approach to dramatically increase the diversity of our diet in every single bake.
