Sourdough A to Z eBook: Win a Copy!

bowl of sourdough crackers

Sourdough is a champion traditional food (don’t miss Stacey’s post on sourdough next Friday). By slowly fermenting the grain during the souring process, it becomes easily digestible (sometimes even for those with allergies or particular grain sensitivities), it reduces phytates (for better mineral availability and absorption), it even lower the insulin response to consuming the carbohydrates.

Even better, sourdough baked goods are simpler than you might think to make and very frugal. There is no added yeast necessary (a beneficial thing, because store bought yeast contributes to systemic yeast issues in the body), and the overall result with sourdough is just good, wholesome, tasty and nutritious. It is quickly becoming my preferred way to prepare grains and make baked goods.

Last fall, I reviewed the Sourdough eCourse from GNOWFGLINS, experimenting and learning all of the varied ways that sourdough can be used. Far beyond basic bread, sourdough methods can be applied to breakfast foods (crepes, pancakes, muffins), crackers, pizza dough, biscuits, and even sweet treats like cinnamon rolls, cake, cookies and pie!

I absolutely loved the eCourse contents and especially the videos, but I know that the cost of such a course isn’t a possibility for everyone. When Wardeh let me know that she had compiled an eBook with the same basic contents of the eCourse, I was thrilled.

No, you don’t get access to the videos and some of the amazing tutorials or the member forums that come with the Sourdough eCourse, BUT you still get all of the printed teaching material, and all of the amazing recipes, with very detailed instructions. Another great addition to the eBook is tips and fresh ideas and adaptations that have been contributed by those who took the eCourse and participated in the forums.

The Sourdough A to Z eBook

sourdough coverThe Sourdough A to Z eBook sells for $20, which I think is a complete steal (unless you’re a GNOWFGLINS eCourse member, and then it’s even cheaper). The amount of information packed into this 150 page book is 100% worthwhile, and I have no hesitation in recommending it to you wholeheartedly.

This is honestly the best and most comprehensive resource on sourdough that I know of. With 5 different authors collaborating their knowledge and experience to write it, and 25 detailed lessons, it will answer all of your sourdough questions and have you preparing incredible foods for your family in no time. Though I rarely print out eBooks, this is one that I would consider printing out to have in a binder as an easily accessible resource and recipe book.

I know, it sounds like I’m being a bit over the top. I try not to gush about products, but it’s hard not to when it is one that I personally feel is an incredible resource and great value.

Although I’ve been making sourdough breads on and off for years, I’ve been recently looking into the science of sourdough in a more in-depth way recently. Since our family has been struggling with remaining grain-free for a variety of reasons (although I still absolutely feel that GAPS is an excellent diet for healing the gut, reversing allergies and helping other disorders and disease as well), I’m looking for other ways to help improve my family’s digestive systems and food sensitivities. Sourdough is promising in this regard, because it helps to pre-digest the grains (making them far easier on the gut than other methods of preparation), greatly reduces disaccharide content in the finished product (while most baked goods are very high in disaccharides), and can make gluten and grain proteins tolerable for many who usually cannot tolerate them.

What the book includes:

  1. Starting a Starter, Caring for a Starter, and Gluten-Free Sourdough
  2. Sourdough Routines: An Interview with Three Bloggers
  3. Tortillas & Tortilla Chips
  4. Cakes: Chocolate & Spice
  5. No-Knead Sourdough Bread with Many Uses: Pita Bread, English Muffins, Cinnamon Rolls and more!
  6. Spelt Sandwich Bread, Dinner Rolls, Hamburger Buns, and Swirl Bread
  7. English Muffins 
& Sandwich Ideas
  8. Skillet Pancakes and Waffles
  9. Cinnamon Rolls
  10. Crepes & Crepe Cakes
  11. Basic Muffins & Variations
  12. Crackers: Plain, Cheese, and Variations
  13. Honey Whole Wheat Bread
  14. Gingerbread
  15. Pizza Crust & Pizza Pockets
  16. Pasta
  17. Pocket Bread and Middle Eastern Pizza
  18. Cornbread & Corn Fritters
  19. Donuts
  20. Biscuits
  21. Pot Pie
  22. Basic Scones & Variations
  23. Dehydrating/Preserving a Starter
  24. Cookies
  25. Impossible Pies — our no-wait, healthy variations on the Bisquick impossible pie!

I’m very intrigued by the health benefits of sourdough & I think it’s interesting that you can do so much more than just make bread with it!

  4. I would love to learn more about sourdough and how to make it! It’s something I have been curious about for a while.

  5. Sourdough is so much more flavorful than rapid rise recipes. (Not to mention healthier.) However, the batch I attempted had a few…issues. I’d love to win this book so we can avoid further disasters.

  6. I would like to win a copy of this book because my first attempt at working with a sourdough starter didn’t work out well. I still want to make fresh bread for my (mainly grain-free) family, but I’m leery of attempting this again without proper instructions.

  7. I have never made anything with sour dough and I would love to try. I would love to try the No-Knead Sourdough Bread.

  8. I love baking bread, but a new digestion troubles have really put a damper on it. It would be great to try out sourdoughs and see if it helped.

  9. I would love to learn how to make some different things with my sourdough – I currently regularly make bread, and I enjoy making pancakes and cinnamon rolls, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten!

  10. I just love the whole idea of sour dough and have looked at buying starters before but knew there had to be ways to get my own different starters going. I like the idea of a sourdough pizza crust. 🙂

  11. Well, so far I’ve only make bread and a cake with sourdough, so I’m interested in ALL the other recipes.

  12. Honestly I don’t know much about the health benefits of sourdough, although I would really like to learn! I just really love the flavor it has! I’m not sure what recipe I would like to try there are so many things I make now that I could transition to sourdough rather than yeast, so I think I would be testing out quite a few recipes~ no specific one in mind though.

  13. I’d like to try the pocket bread and Middle Eastern pizza recipes! (sorry did these out of order…)

  14. I love the taste of sourdough and love to eat any bread with lots of butter and i think sourdough is a healthier choice. I have tried and failed a few times to get it going myself so I’d really love this book to help boost me.
    And which recipe would I like to make?? All of them!

  15. I love the taste of sourdough, the health benefits and the ease of making a sustainable levener in case of emergency.

  17. I really want to learn how to do sourdough, because I am convinced it is healthier. But I am totally intimidated by it!!!!!!!!!!

  18. I am so excited about this giveaway! We *try* to eat TF, but I make a lot of plain whole wheat bread, because sourdough intimidates me. I’ve just been thinking the past few days that I really need to delve into sourdough “how-to’s”, and get on with it!
    I would love to feed my family sourdough instead, because I know it’s more beneficial to our health, and yeast is something we struggle with.

  19. I’m intrigued by sourdough’s ability to “lower the insulin response to consuming the carbohydrates.”

  20. I subscribe via e-mail. I’ve tried making sourdough in the past with mixed results. I used a recipe from Stan and Floss Dworkins book and actually got a starter that worked moderately well, I used the recipe in The Little House on the Prairie cookbook and had a massive fail. I’ve never gotten a sourdough starter that made my bread rise the way that I thought it really should however, and even my most successful efforts have discouraged me in terms of keeping the starter going. So, while I love sourdough bread, I don’t feel like I’ve been very successful at it yet, but I’m willing to give it another try.

  21. Sourdough is so intriguing to me because it’s ALIVE! It’s like a pet that you take care of and it gives back great health benefits. I’d love to win so that I can learn how to use sourdough to make all kinds of healthy baked goods for my family.

  23. I would love to add sourdough to our diet – but I’m intimidated! This book would be a great way to get started on something specific.

  24. I’ve been a longtime subscriber, and usually have a starter in my home because my mom always shares it with me, but I’d love to branch out from just a regular sourdough bread that I make and read the ebook for the other great sounding recipes! I’m also sharing a link on Facebook for this. THANKS!

  25. I’d love to be able to toke the video course, but where my husband and I work (W. Africa), our internet service is neither fast enough nor reliable enough for that sort of a thing. So, the next best thing would be the book. I love sourdough and am planning to learn how to use it this summer, once the school I serve in is out for break, so the publicationof this book is perfect timing.

  26. I have read your blog for quite some time. I have acquired a lot of knowledge of “real foods” but have yet to dive in. This may be a good way to begin transitioning my family. Who doesn’t love bread?!

  27. I like the idea of the nutritional value of making sourdough bread, cakes, grains and beans. I have made several in the past and my whole family loves them. They never know they are eating healthier foods.

  28. My family is trying to live a better healthier life by eating right. I would love to learn how to make sourdough. I have tried a few times and couldn’t get it right.

  29. I’ve tried sour dough in the past. My first attempt was good, but I didn’t keep the starter going. Later when I tried making a new starter I failed miserably. I’m sure this book is full of great hints, plus I’m curious about the variety of things you can make with sour dough.

  30. Besides following you via eMail, I also follow you on FB and just shared the giveaway there! 🙂

  31. I would love to win a copy and further our healthy eating. I have yet to attempt sourdough, but this looks great.

  32. I like the fact that sourdough is ages old in origin. That appeals to my sense of wanting to be connected to my ancestors somehow.

  33. Sourdough intrigues me because of how you can keep growing it. I would like to win because I have tried making sourdough twice and failed. I need more info on how to do it.

  34. I am most intrigued by the nutritional benefits of sourdough, and I think it would be super cool to have a starter to pass on to my kids and friends that I’ve had for forever.

  35. I love sourdough! I don’t even like “regular” bread that much anymore. There is one recipe I make with consistency; however, I wouldn’t mind having more sourdough ideas.

  36. I like that sourdough has its own wild yeast without having to add commercial yeast. I love to win to learn techniques of including sourdough in all the bread products we make.

  37. I love traditional foods and Sourdough is one of them. I would love to know what to do with it. It’s always been so intimidating and I didn’t know you could do more than just plain bread.

  38. I love sourdough, but so far have only made bread, pancakes and crackers. I would love to have new recipes to try.

  39. I have tried sour dough before but was never able to keep it alive because all I did with it was bread, and we really don’t eat that much bread! I would love to try again, but this time do more things with it; like muffins, tortillas, etc.

  40. What intrigues me the most about sourdough are the potential health benefits. Our family is very much into natural health and trying to stay healthy as much as possible, rather than just treat sickness.

  41. My husband loves sourdough, and it would be great if I could make a healthier whole wheat version!

  42. I absolutely LOVE sourdough bread and so does my family! I would love nothing more than to learn to make it at home so I know that I’m providing my family with a healthy treat!

  43. i’ve tried a bit of sour dough baking, but i feel intimidated still. i’ve only made things that don’t depend on a good rise. i want to be brave and try a real loaf of bread!

  44. I would love to win this e-book for a few reasons. First off, I suspect that gluten sensitivity may be a part of my husband’s and my life. Nothing serious, but the more we’re exposed to improperly prepared grains, the more it could become more of an issue down the road. I already soak a lot of our grains, but sourdough would be better. Second, I didn’t know you could make things like crepes(!) and cakes, and desserts with sourdough until I heard about Wardeh’s e-course! Third, with a baby on the way, even though $20 IS a steal for this book, we are watching our money closely right now, so winning it (hint, hint) would be a wonderful blessing! 🙂

  45. I have experimented a little with sourdough. I received some Amish Friendship starter, then branched out and made pancakes, pita bread (better than store bought) and corn bread. I would like to receive the ebook and thanks for a great blog. I am already a subscriber to the blog and I shared this on facebook.

  57. I have been hearing a lot of good things about sourdough lately and would like to try it. I would love to win this to help me get started. Thanks!

  72. I did the e-course this book is based on, but I’m much more of a book person.

I’m really committed to finding new ways to make it part of my daily kitchen routine!

  82. Aside from wanting to make sourdough because I love the taste, I really love the idea of starters lasting a lifetime and being able to share the starter with friends and family. It’s such a unique thing!

  86. I cannot tell you how excited I was when I received this new post by e-mail! My mother and I took the e-course and have recommended it to many of our dear friends too, but non of them had the time to take the course. When I read this I got so excited, knowing that I could just refer them to the e-book instead!!!! YAY!!!

I just love how sourdough is easier for the body to digest and tastes! I’m interested in trying new recipes. Since my hubby is a youth pastor and I am a stay at home mama with three under the age of four I haven’t be able to take the ecourse yet. This book sounds like a great option!!

  100. I already cook with sourdough, but I still consider myself a beginner. I’d love to learn more ways to use it!

    Thanks for the giveaway.

  108. I love learning about anything that is a more natural way of feeding my family. I’ve seen the sourdough information, but haven’t had time to really dig in – I’d LOVE a copy of the book so that I’ll have the information at my fingertips!

    Thanks so much for this giveaway!

  122. I’m interested in learning more about sourdough because my mom used to use it quite often during my childhood, but it always gave my dad a “sour” stomach ache. I’d like to find out ways to use it in which he wouldn’t get sick from it.

  141. I’m on GAPS right now to hopefully heal my wheat allergy. I’d love to learn about sourdough for transitioning off of GAPS and also for my family. My husband eats white bread and we’re delaying giving my son wheat (he’s 1) to hopefully minimize chances of an allergy.

  142. We would definitely have to try the pizza dough and tortillas in addition to the sourdough bread! We’ve been curious about it for quite some time and just haven’t found a good resource. It looks like we have now! Thank you for the giveaway!

We have complete revamped our diet to be gluten free on his behalf. While changing over, I noticed benefits myself. No longer did my back hurt chronically & my knees stopped aching. It was amazing.

  169. I love the idea of making sourdough because it’s supposed to make the grains so much better for you – and I love the flavor! What a great giveaway!

  187. I would love to win! What intrigues me about sourdough is that you can do so much with it, and how it’s a really healthy way to eat grains…I also remember reading about Ma Ingalls making sourdough bread out of soured milk, and for some reason it stuck with me as something worth trying.

Maybe “someday” will be here sooner than I think 😉 It’s been years since I made sourdough bread (for soup) and I can’t remember a thing about it. I’m not sure what intrigues me. As far as which recipe? I’m not sure, there’s so many I want to try…crackers, pizza dough come to mind. It’s fascinating of so many things one can make from it.

  192. I’ve never been a fan of the taste of sourdough, but I’m willing to try anything that is easy to digest. I’m intrigued by the concept of making non-bread sourdoughs, maybe even finding something that will mask the strong sourdough taste. I’d like to win the eBook because it’s the only way I can afford to read it now.

  193. 1. Sourdough intrigues me … initially I found it weird to think you could leave something ‘going off’ on the counter and still eat it. My sisters (who do not eat sourdough ..yet!) call it ‘Hayley’s festering foods’ as I also have kefir in a jar on my counter! However, as I read through articles on your “Keeper of the Home” website, the benefits are now cemented and I safely and happily feed myself and my kids sourdough bread and sourdough pancakes. My husband eats the pancakes with real maple syrup and fresh cream, but will not touch the bread 🙂 (I know he loves me exploring these natural whole foods though, as he has just bought and started milking a cow, Jenny, for me – we are LOVING the fresh raw milk and cream). ANYWAY, back to sourdough, I would like to win the ‘Sourdough A to Z eBook’ as I want to explore further how I can get sourdough into my husband and children in creative ways. I want to try cakes and tortillas and gingerbread and I love how you can use it in almost anything!! I am growing my starter on my bench in anticipation of all the new recipes I will be trying!!!

    2. I am already a subscriber to ‘Keeper of the Home’.

    3. I have shared the giveaway on my Facebook page (‘Hayley Carter’)

    Also. while I’m here for entry #2 I want to let you know that I would love to have this ebook for all the wonderful cracker recipes!!!

  195. Even though I only eat limited carbs, I love my pizza. I’d love o learn how to keep a starter so that I can make my own sourdough crust. Not to mention my weakness, but a waffle breakfast on the weekend 🙂

  196. I am intimidated by sourdough, but I have heard it’s so much better for you, I’d love to learn more about it. Sounds like this book is a great resource. Besides learning about the actual sourdough process, I’d love learning more about using the “extra” dough that needs to be removed when you are feeding it. I heard you can make all sorts of baked goods, and I hate wasting, so it would be nice to learn how to do that!

  197. I really like that the process of sourdough pre-digests the grain. I’ve been wanting to learn to make my own starter for a while and learn to make sourdough versions of things we often eat, especially pancakes, tortillas and crackers.

  198. Tried to subscribe to your contest email list, but I have no idea if it went through. I tried in two browsers, but not sure if it worked. hopefully it did!

  226. This looks so interesting and I would love to learn something new! Thanks for the info and opportunity.

    I have made sourdough cookies, cake, english muffins, pizza dough, waffles, hotcakes and of course bread.

  228. I’ve wanted to start making sourdough breads and such for quite some time now. I occasionally make soaked grain bread, but this would open up new healthy meal items to me!
