With modern methods of regulating temperature, and with the easy availability of bakers yeast, honest-to-goodness naturally fermented sourdough bread can be made from start to finish in less than a day.
With all the benefits of naturally fermented sourdough, its only the hassle of making it that has discouraged home bakers. Well, hassle no more. The age of smart sourdough has arrived.

A guidebook that introduces a quicker, easier, and more modern method for creating homemade sourdough bread . . . His straightforward strategy is particularly notable in that it takes less than a day and doesnt use a starter. The author provides useful chapters spotlighting how bakers can customize dough formation and taste variations based on loaf size, sourness level, and flavor diversifications; methods for rye, buckwheat, tomato basil, chocolate cherry, and other loaves are included, as well as sections on bread bowls, pizza crusts, and pancakes . . . Generously illustrated with charts, illustrations, and photographs. Overall, Shepards book will encourage home bakers of any skill level to embark on a new, quicker, and easier way to make their own bread . . . A splendid and novel approach that takes the mystery out of a formerly time-consuming process. Kirkus Reviews, April 22, 2022
A fresh new look at making your own sourdough . . . I love Marks attention to detail. No matter your setup, tools, or needs, hes got you covered . . . I questioned his use of a pinch or two of bakers yeast, but his research and experiments have me sold. His recipes combine the advantages of cultivated yeast and naturally occurring sourdough bacteria to make bread that actually rises and doesnt take days to make.Holly Howe, author of Fermentation Made Easy!
