24a9f5c31e Booklet (#362)
* Initial support for building a booklet

This is really WIP but add support in the makefile for building another
book from the same source.

As the target name suggests, it will be a TL;DR version of the
framework.

* Extract recipes in their own tex file (flat bread)

In order to reuse recipes in the booklet, we need to extract them in
their own tex file sourced by both.

* Add clean and quick targets for booklet

* Initial version of the booklet

Very very WIP, ugly as but need to start somewhere.

* Update the booklet

- Add pics
- Change layout

* Update makefile for booklet

- Add help target
- Follow naming conventions for target

* Remove non-wheat Bread

* Pack the picture together and fix captions

Takes less place, looks better, only good things...

* Remove labels

* Reorder figs and pics more logically

* Fix the fill-yourself baker math table

Much nicer and add rooms for comments

* Center pics and flowcharts and fix indentation

* Add booklet to all target

It will also be part of the release

* Reduce dependencies for booklet

not perfect but better, will avoid rebuild every tiem we work on the
text itself :)

* Add the booklet to the README

* Add docker entry, fix typo

* Add making sourdough starter

\subsubsection*{Instructions}
\begin{description}
\item[Prepare the dough] In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and water.
Mix until you have a shaggy dough with no dry spots.
Add the sourdough starter and salt to the mixture. Incorporate them thoroughly
until you achieve a smooth and homogenized dough.
\item[Fermentation:] Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap. Allow the dough
to rest and ferment until it has increased by at least \qty{50}{\percent}
in size. Depending on the temperature and activity of your starter, this
can take anywhere from 4 to 24~hours.
\item[Cooking preparation:] Once the dough has risen, heat a pan over medium heat.
Lightly oil the pan, ensuring to wipe away any excess oil with a paper towel.
\item[Shaping and cooking:] With a ladle or your hands, scoop out a portion of
the dough and place it onto the hot pan, spreading it gently like a pancake.
Cover the pan with a lid. This traps the steam and ensures even cooking
from the top, allowing for easier flipping later.
After about 5~minutes, or when the bottom of the flatbread has a
golden-brown crust, carefully flip it using a spatula.

\item[Prepare the dough] In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and water.
Mix until you have a shaggy dough with no dry spots.
Add the sourdough starter and salt to the mixture. Incorporate them
thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and homogenized dough.
\item[Fermentation:] Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap. Allow the dough
to rest and ferment until it has increased by at least \qty{50}{\percent}
in size. Depending on the temperature and activity of your starter, this
can take anywhere from 4 to 24~hours.
\item[Cooking preparation:] Once the dough has risen, heat a pan over medium
heat. Lightly oil the pan, ensuring to wipe away any excess oil with a
paper towel.
\item[Shaping and cooking:] With a ladle or your hands, scoop out a portion of
the dough and place it onto the hot pan, spreading it gently like a
pancake.
Cover the pan with a lid. This traps the steam and ensures even cooking
from the top, allowing for easier flipping later.
After about 5~minutes, or when the bottom of the flatbread has a
golden-brown crust, carefully flip it using a spatula.
\emph{Adjusting cook time.} If the flatbread appears too dark, remember to
