Lese-Probe zu „Flour Water Salt Yeast “
IntroductionIt s been five hundred years since I opened Ken s Artisan Bakery in Portland, Oregon. That s in bakery years, of course. My bakery actually opened in 2001. I had recently left a nearly twenty-year corporate career for the freedom of running my own venture and doing something I loved. In the time leading up to this risky transition, before I knew what that venture would be, I yearned for a craft and wanted to make a living doing something I could truly call my own. But I was itchy and I didn t know where to scratch! For many years, I waited for that lightbulb moment of awareness that would signal an open path worth taking. Then, in the mid-1990s, my best friend gave me a magazine featuring the famed Parisian baker Lionel Poilâne. That article gave me the inspiration I was looking for. Not long after that, I began making frequent trips to Paris, and I was deeply inspired by the authentic, tradition-bound boulangeries I visited there. After a few years and a series of evolving ideas, I ended up with a perhaps naive plan to open a French bakery somewhere in the United States. My hope was to re-create the style and quality of the best breads, brioches, croissants, cannelés, and other specialties found at boulangeries and patisseries all over France.
My ensuing career transition was more Mr. Toad s Wild Ride than simple job change. You could say I answered the call of that ancient Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times. But I came out on the other side with a firm love of the baker s craft, acknowledging it as much more hard work than romance. The daily rhythms of life as a professional baker, once nearly overwhelming, now provide comfort. The aromas, the tactile nature of the work, and the way the finished products look takes me to a faraway place that is still present, and to have that be the way I spend my days continues to thrill me.

United States plus two in France during the two-year between-careers period before I opened my own bakeshop in Portland. What struck me during my professional baking training was that the most important lessons I was learning how to use long fermentation, pre-ferments, autolyse, and temperature management, for example were not discussed in any of the bread books I had read. I later encountered books that did detail these things (like those by Raymond Calvel and Michel Suas), but they were targeted to the professional. I was sure that the techniques I had learned could apply to the home baker too.
In the years that followed the opening of Ken s Artisan Bakery, several notable baking books were published. But I still saw an opportunity to address the techniques used in a good artisan bakery and how they could be adopted for the home kitchen. I wanted to write a book that didn t totally dumb down these techniques, since the concepts really aren t that difficult for the nonprofessional baker to apply. And I wanted to break from the mold prevalent in almost every bread book out there (at least until very recently): that every recipe had to use a rise time of just one to two hours. Further, I was completely motivated to demonstrate how good bread can be when it s made from just the four principle ingredients: flour, water, salt, and yeast.
I also saw the opportunity to address how to make great bread at home with each of the three principle techniques of dough fermentation: straight doughs, doughs made with pre-ferments, and levain doughs, including an easy, unintimidating method for making a levain culture from scratch in just five days using only whole grain flour and water.

Library Journal
"Forkish's instructions are clear, concise and incredibly precise... For true artisan bread lovers -- and homemade pizza fanatics -- this book sets a new standard."
Oregonian, June 25, 2012
"Divided into four sections ( The Principles of Artisan Bread, Basic Bread Recipes, Levain Bread Recipes, and Pizza Recipes ), with recipes broken down by breads made with store-bought yeast, breads made with long-fermented simple doughs, and doughs made with pre-ferments, the book presents recipes accessible to novices, while providing a different approach for making dough to experienced bakers. Plenty of step-by-step photographs, along with a chapter outlining Great Details for Bread and Pizza, make this slim work a rival to any bread-baking tome. A variety of pizza recipes, including sweet potato and pear pizza and golden beets and duck breast prosciutto pizza, (along with an Oregon hazelnut butter cookie recipe), end the

Ken Forkish s story is as unique, interesting, and delicious as his famous breads and pizzas. The man abandoned his past, courageously stepped off the cliff and followed his passion, and the result has been a gift to all of us: great breads, fabulous pizzas, and now this beautiful book Flour Water Salt Yeast in which he reveals all.
Peter Reinhart, author of Artisan Breads Every Day and The Joy of Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Baking
Ken nails it, end of story, when it comes to the best levain bread or the thinnest, most perfect pizza crust you ve ever had. He has set the bar for Portland bakeries that s why we use his bread at Le Pigeon. For anybody looking to bake amazing bread at home, this book is a must-have.
Gabriel Rucker, chef/owner of Le Pigeon restaurant
This fun book offers more than just top-quality bread. Flour Water Salt Yeast reveals all the formulas, processes, tips, and tricks Ken established in his years of experience as a professional baker. But most importantly, it teaches home bakers how to create their own bread using multiple schedules and ingredient combinations. Hey all that without having to get up to bake in the middle of the night.
Michel Suas, founder of the San Francisco Baking Institute and author of Advanced Bread and Pastry
Ken Forkish is an artisan for our times, and the kind of handcraft-it-yourself dreamer who makes Portland, Oregon, one of America s top food destinations. This book is a handsome expression of his bread-baking vision: Forkish is a man unbound, obsessed by the science of fermentation, and excitedly sharing hard-won secrets and exacting recipes from his celebrated sourdough laboratory.
