Miro van Vreckem - The Sourdough Baking Book: From Sourdough Starter to Stunning Breads and Pastries

Erik Fabian talks with Miro van Vreckem about first cookbook: Sourdough Baking Book: From Sourdough Starter to Stunning Breads and Pastries. Miro van Vreckem is a Belgian baker at Norway’s Elt Bakeri...founded in 2022 in the mountain village of Sollia, on the edge of the Rondane, a national park, sells bread, pastries and pizza. In 2024, Elt was named one of the top bakeries in Norway.His new book traces sourdough’s journey “from flour to crumb,” beginning with organic farmers growing grain and millers transforming it into flour. It provides step-by-step guidance for creating sourdough starter from scratch, with recipes for crusty loaves, pastries, and sweet and savory applications.We discuss what inspired this Belgian baker to move to Norway, his path to founding Elt Bakeri in the mountain village of Sollia and how his book is helping create a new culture of bread in his adopted home...and of course his sourdough baking tips.Where to buy Miro's book:www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Sourdough-Baking-Book/Miro-Van-Vreckem/9789059960725More about Miro van Vreckem:eltbakeri.noIG: @eltbakeriMore About Sourhouse:sourhouse.coIG: @lifeatsourhouseWhat sourdough cookbook author should we talk to next?
