Die hohe Kunst des Backens

Die Verbindung traditioneller Backkunst mit den Anforderungen einer veganen und gesunden Ernährung - das gelingt, wenn ein qualitätsbewusster Profi am Werk ist. Ein buttriges Blätterteiggebäck wie Croissants, aber vegan? Millefeuille-Cremeschnitten oder Meringuen? Dazu knusprige Brote, alles perfekt und nur mit pflanzlichen Zutaten zubereitet. Der Autor zeigt in Stepfotos, wie man Sauerteig richtig ansetzt, Brotteige gekonnt knetet, Hefeteigen die nötige Zeit lässt und vieles mehr. Die gute Nachricht für alle Backanfänger: Die Kunst des Backens zeigt sich nicht in komplizierten Techniken, sondern offenbart sich in der nötigen Ruhe und Geduld für das Naturprodukt, dessen Basis Mehl und Wasser ist.
