How to raise a loaf and fall in love with sourdough is a new accessible guide to bread baking by amateur baker Roly Allen.

Want to learn to bake bread without over-complicated recipes and pages and pages on kneading technique? This new book makes the key techniques of traditional baking easy to understand, with step-by-step photo instructions and a simple overview of the magical processes that turn wild yeasts into a living baker’s starter, and a bowl of flour into a glowing crusty loaf.

 Recipes include rye loaves, sourdough pizza, grissini, rolls and more, as well as suggesting surprising flavours (think chocolate, tomato, olives and linseed) to incorporate into your sourdough bakes. You don’t need to be an expert baker to make your own sourdough at home; though once you’re hooked, and want to get fancy, the book will tell you what lames, bannetons, brushes and stones to invest in. The small format and clear instructions make this the perfect baking guide for beginners!

The Ikyu 1000 grit is definitely different from many other stones we stock. Due to it's unique production method and relatively secretive blend ratio, it feels coarser, cuts faster, and feels more like a natural stone compared to many other 1000 grits. 

It lays a fantastic base to progress to the Ikyu 3000, a blend of Mikawa Nagura and synthetic powder. It's extra thickness makes for a great value stone. These stones need to be soaked before use.

Accessories Information

This synthetic/natural powder (Mikawa Nagura) blend is a perfect finisher for most stainless steels (AUS8/10, VG10, Ginsan etc) and provides a very toothy yet refined everyday edge for carbon knives. Designed to be used after the 1000 grit Ikyu Shin Nagura.

These are soaking stones on the softer side which are best used with a slurry, so use a lapping plate or Nagura stone.
