Sourdough is one of the tastiest and most nutritious breads you can make, but it has a reputation for being both tricky and time-consuming. 10-Minute Sourdough is Vanessa Kimbell's foolproof guide to slow bread for those with busy lives.

None of the fuss-free, no-knead recipes - which include everything from a basic sourdough boule to tomato focaccia and apple spelt sourdough with cinnamon butter - require more than 10 minutes' active work in total (not including fermentation time or time in the oven) and mean that anyone can turn their hand to sourdough baking, no matter how little time they have.
