Prue has been doing a lot of bread baking during our Covid-19 Quarantine.

She started baking sourdough bread while on maternity leave and she's now very good at it. So much so that we often think that her loaves are better than some of the top bakers in Sydney.

So far Prue has made her own sourdough starter and then baked White Sourdough, Sourdough Fruit Loaf, White and Rye Sourdough, Pizza, Hot Crossed Buns. She's even made crumpets with the discarded starter.

I bought Prue Ken Forkish's book 'Flour Water Salt Yeast: The Fundamentals of Artisan Bread and Pizza'. It's been extremely helpful. The standard of Prue's loaves jumped within just a few batches after following recipes and techniques in the book.

Ken also does YouTube videos showing his techniques.
