Baking with Fortitude
by Dee Rettali
Dee Rettali is an artisan baker who, over a lifetime of baking, has honed her recipes to bring out intense flavour using forgotten craftsmanship. Dee’s cakes, created for her bakery – Fortitude Bakehouse in London – are a world away from generic cakes loaded with sugar or artificial flavours.
Her most groundbreaking technique is to use a sourdough-like starter in her baking. Another flavour-building process she has developed is to ferment the batter itself before baking. This is a cutting-edge way of baking, and at the same time, it has antecedents in Dee’s past. This book brings this back to life in a thoroughly modern way.
