The Sweet Sourdough School

Sweet Sourdough is an indispensible 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 - but not sickly sweet - recipes that are gut-friendly and rely on natural sweetness where possible.

Classic recipes and new ideas for flavor combinations offer bakers an alternative method of baking cakes, tarts, pancakes, doughnuts, pannetones, pretzels - nothing is off limits. If it rises, it can be made with sourdough. Also featured are recipes for jams, syrups and cultured butters to accompany your bakes.

Vanessa explains too how sourdough helps to maintain the health and diversity of your gut microbiome. New studies are unveiling links between the microorganisms in our gut and our mood and behaviour, and Vanessa is at the forefront of sourdough research.
