Platina describes a traditional sourdough bread. There is a raston recipe
(actually two versions of one recipe) in the Two Fourteenth Century
Cookbooks. A manchet recipe and a reston recipe from Elizabethan sources.
All of the original recipes can be found in Florilegium, as can some nice
but OOP recipes.
I would suggest manchet recipe I used for Protectorate as being relatively
quick to make.
