Idk if he invented it but he might have popularized using low hydration or high hydration starter to change the flavor of your sourdough. The idea I remember is that lower hydration starter gives you yogurty flavor and high gives you more sour.

The Sourdough Framework[0] is a really good book that specifically deals with sourdough, but has some good maths and theory. It actually doesn't have many recipes, but it's a good read. The author has a pizza calculator[1] too, which only has two variables (dough weight and hydration).

Setting up good book publishing pipelines with version control + CI/CD might sounds simple, but I don't think it's trivial. One of the best examples of this that I've ever seen is The Sourdough Framework [0] -- really impressed with the way that versioning and publishing is integrated in that book. And yes -- I know it sounds like yet another Javascript library -- but it's actually a book about sourdough bread making. It's been discussed here several times before, but this one from 2023 [1] may have been the most popular (103 comments) [0] - https://github.com/hendricius/the-sourdough-framework [1] - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35961590

This article could not have come at a better time. I was getting ready to learn about the art of bread making with total confusion and disappointments from my past attempts. I hope the resources discussed in the article would help me out with making bread the way it is meant to be made.
