    Gluten Tag. Just wanted to share with you my free (super nerd) book called “The Sourdough Framework”. The book is not a collection of recipes. It looks at the basics and mechanics behind sourdough fermentation. My idea was to provide you with a framework that helps you to follow every recipe out there on the internet. I made it free so that everyone starting with sourdough can begin with a (hopefully) good knowledge resource.

    You can download the book here:

    * PDF: [https://www.the-bread-code.io/book.pdf](https://www.the-bread-code.io/book.pdf)
    * EPUB: [https://www.the-bread-code.io/book.epub](https://www.the-bread-code.io/book.epub)
    * MOBI: [https://www.the-bread-code.io/book.mobi](https://www.the-bread-code.io/book.mobi)
    * AZW3: [https://www.the-bread-code.io/book.azw3](https://www.the-bread-code.io/book.azw3)

    If you find a typo/want to improve something – the full book is open source. You can find the details here: [https://github.com/hendricius/the-sourdough-framework](https://github.com/hendricius/the-sourdough-framework). The links above are directly updated every time the text in the source code is updated (nerd mode LOL).

    Lastly – I am currently running a kickstarter campaign to finance design and printing of the book. If you want to read more details you can check out [this reddit post on my profile.](https://www.reddit.com/user/the_bread_code/comments/13ml11f/i_started_the_crowdfunding_campaign_for_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)

    Looking forward to reading your feedback and ideas for improvements. What kind of content do you think is missing?

    This is awesome! I was just starting to look for a book that explained the *why* so I wouldn’t be so constrained to a single recipe. Like why are starter amounts so different? If I have 150g of active starter but the recipe calls for 90g do I add it all anyway? And how does that change the fermentation time, etc? I only read the first few pages of your book but if it answers that eventually, I would be so happy!
