* Update Sourdough History This adds another timeline for the sourdough bread history, adds more information and more references. * Fix a few white spaces.. * Correct capitalization of Van Leeuwenhoek Quoting Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_(Dutch) Spelling conventions Collation and capitalisation Collation and capitalisation of names differs between countries. In the Netherlands and Suriname, names starting with "van" are filed under the initial letter of the following name proper, so Johannes van der Waals is filed under "W", as: "Waals, Johannes van der" or "van der Waals, Johannes".[3] The "v" is written in lower case, except when the surname is used as standalone (when the first name or initials are omitted), in which case it is capitalised, as in "de schilder Vincent van Gogh" and "de schilder Van Gogh" ("the painter Van Gogh").[4] In compound terms like "de Van Goghtentoonstelling" ("the Van Gogh exhibition") the "v" is capitalised, unless the connection between the person and the concept is or has become very weak.[5] * Fix line * Improve numbers on time chart - Tausend separator - Negative numbers - Few typos * Fixes * Improve timeline - narrower so it fits on page (text was leaking out), fits mostly but not schking anymore - Different colour for BC as scale is different - Broken line for discontinuity in AD * Reduce line-break width * Move dates around in timeline Makes it neater IMHO * Fix 12000 BC in timeline * Fix typo and add labels Also re-indent text (but only new one..) * reunite can and not * Prevent running validate when pushing on main Rational is as follow: - We ran validate-book on each push on the PR branch anyway - We will run release_book which is a superset of validate * Upload artifacts on each PR (#299) * Upload artifacts on each PR * Use artifact V3 * Build docker image for each PR (#300) This builds a docker image for each PR and then one for the release tagged as :latest. --------- Co-authored-by: Ced <ced@sdf.org> Co-authored-by: Cedric <ced@awase.ostal> Co-authored-by: Paul Duguet <duguet.paul@gmail.com>
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.
🍞 Baking the book (Docker)
make
Then you can check out the file book/book.pdf
If you want to 🍞 bake all the versions including ebook variants (.pdf, .epub in colour and size optimized Black&White), run:

I believe that the knowledge this book provides is essential to everyone. That's why I decided to open source my knowledge hoping that it will reach more people all over the world without budget constraints.
