We asked Uliks Fehmiu what made him share the formerly top-secret recipe. “Long gone are the days when expert bakers hid their recipes and methods as top-secret government classified documents,” he says. “Recipes and baking techniques are now more easily accessible. Our desire is to share that passion and joy for the bread making process with everyone. If we could do it, you can certainly as well.” And don’t be overwhelmed by all the steps involved. Fehmiu says, “if you like to cook or bake, you already know how enjoyable and rewarding the process can be.” I am often asked for a basic sourdough recipe, and for the cost of making a sourdough boule – it can cost as little as 20p– but in so many ways I am somehow reluctant to give a sourdough recipe because a recipe in itself really does not guarantee a good loaf.It is inevitable to encounter challenges along the way, but difficulties can be avoided with the right guidance. Common Mistakes: This book walks you through the basics of sourdough bread making. The recipes for mixing the dough, fermenting the bread, and shaping it into a boule can be found here.
