Sourdough Panettone and Viennoiserie

The book is divided into three main parts: Theory, Practice and Recipes.

• The "Theory" chapter provides a hitherto unpublished understanding of the phenomena involved: evolution of the bacterial flora during manufacture, role of minority bacteria, production of dextrans... Several scientific studies shed new light on the subject.

The author also presents the basics of the universal method that will allow you to create your own recipes for sourdough pastries.
