Gluten Tag,

I wanted to share the book I wrote with you called "The Sourdough Framework".

The book goes beyond just recipes and provides you a solid knowledge foundation, covering the science of sourdough, the basics of bread making, and advanced techniques for achieving the perfect sourdough bread at home.

The book can be read for free here:
https://the-bread-code.io/book.pdf
https://the-bread-code.io/book.epub

Or on the website:
https://www.the-sourdough-framework.com/

The whole content of the book is open source, so everyone can adapt/adjust and improve it: https://github.com/hendricius/the-sourdough-framework. 

Looking forward to reading your thoughts on the book.

I salute you for offering all this work for free!

I had a quick browse of the website version - beautifully laid out with crystal clear flowcharts. Well done and thank you for providing!

I just had a quick look and was very impressed. Congratulations. 

I will use this book. I just read about parbaking loaves. Great idea.

The diagrams and graphs are really nice too.

I watched your yts from the early days when you went through the bakes for 100% whole wheat. You've gotten  really nice results now.

Thanks again for this valuable resource!

This is great work and a wonderful resource. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you everyone for the kind words! I saw some people already creating some issues with ideas for improvement on the GitHub source code - that's highly appreciated.

Please let me know if there are things you feel missing. Happy to add them to the book as well, it's ongoing work.

Thank you so much Hendrik! You continue to be so helpful to the baking community!!

And I cannot wait to read this book!

I just read the whole book and I particularly appreciate the science part of starter and baking. I haven’t used that basic science in a long time, and it was all explained quite well.

I’m new to baking in general but with wheat and dairy allergies for 20 plus years and now lectin intolerance, I finally decided I needed to learn to feed myself better. 

Thank you, and any of you culinary trained folks who bake gf/df/lectin free; know that you are appreciated by a very grateful minority.
