Sourdough Starter Cookbook for the Absolute Beginner takes you by the hand and shows you, step by step, how to turn two simple ingredients—flour and water—into a living sourdough starter and a wide variety of delicious homemade baked goods. No prior baking experience is required, and no complicated techniques are assumed.
This beginner-focused guide removes the mystery from sourdough. You’ll learn exactly how starters work, how to create and maintain one from scratch, and how to confidently bake with it—without fear of failure, wasted ingredients, or dense loaves.
What sets this book apart is its clear structure, plain-language explanations, and step-by-step photos that visually guide you through every critical stage. From feeding your starter to shaping dough and achieving that signature golden crust, nothing is left to guesswork.
Inside, you’ll discover:

• How to create, feed, store, and revive a sourdough starter

• Foolproof recipes designed specifically for first-time sourdough bakers
