Wild Fermentation breads

[KnittyGritty]

Has anyone made any of the breads from the recipes in the Wild Fermentation book? If so, any comments, positive or negative? I'd like to try some (Essene and sourdough) but thought I'd get any extra tips or observations from someone who's tried them. Thanks!

I haven't tried anything from that book, but if you google 7 day sour dough starter the guy there has lots of good recipes. I have been making a loaf a week for my husband from his recipes.

I just got this book last week and I'm in the middle of reading it. Definitely want to give some of the recipes a try soon.

I have grown a wild yeast starter and made bread several times, but it never was anything to brag about. I started it with rye flour, gradually changing it out to regular flour. It always smelled more alcoholic than yeasty, so perhaps the wild stuff available in my area is not a good mix. Or maybe I'm too picky.
