Learn the nearly lost art of baking with natural yeast. Bread Geek Melissa Richardson and self-reliance author Caleb Warnock explain why slow-fermented, wild-yeast bread is healthier and easier to digest, then walk you through capturing, feeding, and troubleshooting your own starter. Packed with humor and dozens of tested recipes—sandwich loaves, pancakes, waffles, muffins, cinnamon rolls, and artisan sourdough—plus shaping tutorials and product tips. A warm, encouraging manual for home bakers seeking dietary self-reliance and whole-grain nutrition.

  • The health case: why the yeast, not the wheat, may be making us sick—and how slow fermentation fixes it
  • Beginner-friendly with a candid 3-month 'don't quit' schedule for busy families
  • Humor throughout—named starters, 'Bread Geek' confessions—makes a dry subject fun
  • From basic sandwich loaves to bakery-worthy artisan sourdough, all with one starter
“Cows make milk , chickens make eggs, and starts make bread. Simple as that.”

Perfect for a home cook interested in healthier whole-grain baking, sourdough, and self-reliant food skills who wants a friendly, hand-holding guide to keeping a wild yeast starter.
