Sourdough Culture: A History of Bread Making from Ancient to Modern Bakers

By Eric Pallant
isbn 978-1572843011
Pub Date 9/14/21

Synopsis

Sourdough Culture presents the history and rudimentary science of sourdough bread baking from its discovery more than six thousand years ago to its still-recent displacement by the innovation of dough-mixing machines and fast-acting yeast.

Pallant traces the tradition of sourdough across continents, from its origins in the Middle East’s Fertile Crescent to Europe and then around the world.

He explains how sourdough fed some of history’s most significant figures, such as Plato, Pliny the Elder, Louis Pasteur, Marie Antoinette, Martin Luther, and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek.

Additionally, he introduces the lesser-known–but equally important–individuals who relied on sourdough bread for sustenance: ancient Roman bakers, medieval housewives, Gold Rush miners, and the many, many others who have produced daily sourdough bread in anonymity.

Author

Eric Pallant is an amateur baker and, also, a professor at Allegheny College in Pennsylvania.
