The Sourdough Framework
The sourdough framework is an open-source book dedicated to
helping you to make the best possible sourdough bread at home.
Rather than providing recipes this book intends to provide a
framework that enables you to bake bread in your respective
environment. Every flour, every sourdough, and every home setup
is different. This makes following recipes without background
information so hard and a fail-prone endeavor. This book
intends to close that gap.
Background
4 years after launching the repositories the-bread-code
and pizza-dough I
created this project to merge the knowledge together. This
project intends to go one step deeper into the workings of
natural fermentation. At the same time as many scientific references
as possible are provided.

There’s an additional enhanced accessibility version using a sans-serif font:
An additional black and white ebook is provided with a greatly reduced file
size. This shrinks the book from more than 20MB down to ~5MB:
For those who prefer a concise reference (about 15 pages), we offer a “too long;didn’t read” (TL;DR)
version. This condensed guide contains the essential flowcharts, crucial information,
and space for your notes - perfect for quick kitchen reference.
It provides the key information you need without reading the complete book.
We recommend using double-sided printing if your printer supports it.
