Among many books on Sourdough baking, there are definitely some jewels which I've referred to time and time again for their accuracy, useability and / or creativity.

Here's a short list of my all time favourite Baking Books:

• Artisan Baking Across America by Maggie Glezer

• The Village Baker by Joe Ortiz

• Australia and New Zealand Baker by Dean Brettschneider and Lauraine Jacobs

• Australian Breadmaking Handbook by the Bread Research Institute of Australia (text book, with good facts)

• Mastering the Art of French Pastry by Bruce Healy and Paul Bugat (for budding pastrycooks)

• Nancy Silverton's Breads from the La Brea Bakery by Nancy Silverton

• The Natural Tucker Bread Book by John Downes (can be hard to get, but it's high on my personal list)
  

• Artisan Baking by Maggie Glezer

This list is by no means exhaustive. But these are all very good to own, to read and re read. Some of the recipes in this site have been inspired by techniques found in these books.

You can buy these books right here, along with a lot more I've hand picked to add to the list. You'll be supporting this resource, and helping to make a labour of love something a little more financialy viable.

The bookstore is powered by Amazon, so I trust it's reliability and useability.

Happy Sourdough Baking!
