the Sandwich Loaf Book E-Book

I've bought three sourdough PDFs on Amazon and every one of them read like a robot wrote it. Same phrases, same generic photos, no soul. This is nothing like that. You can hear the man's voice. He tells you when he burned his first loaves and how long it took him to get good. My country boule came out on the first try. Worth ten of the ones I paid for before."

I did not expect to feel this way about a recipe book. Hollis writes the way my grandfather used to talk about the farm. No hype. No emojis. Just tell me what to do and why. I bought the sourdough one and read it cover to cover before I baked a single loaf. Then I bought the sandwich one for my daughter. She called me two weeks later to say thank you.

I have been trying to bake sourdough for eleven months with mixed results. My first loaf from The Rustic Book came out better than anything I've made from a YouTube video. What sold me was the troubleshooting section. He explains exactly why my previous loaves were dense and how to fix it. I am printing that page and taping it to my fridge.

I bought the sourdough book first. Then the enriched book after Cathy's cranberry orange loaf ruined me for store-bought bread forever. Then I bought the other four because I did not want to be missing one on a Sunday morning. Printed them all, put them in a binder on the counter. My daughter has already asked me to leave them to her in the will. Honestly, I might.
