Using three simple ingredients: water, flour and salt, Sourdough Baking with Kids teaches young bakers and their families about the science behind caring for active sourdough starter: how to create it, keep it alive, feed it when it's hungry, and prepare it for baking.

Each recipe in this book includes different ingredients, colors, and techniques for parents and kids to craft their own bread loaves together. Along the way, families can pick up breadcrumbs such as changes to observe in the dough, fun facts about bread around the world, and little lessons on the patience and discipline behind the process.

Once the basics are under your belt, families can dive into kid-friendly breakdowns of sourdough loaf and sourdough discard recipes including yeast-based baked goods recipes.
