My girlfriend and I been working through Lutz Geißler's BrotBackBuch, his buttermilk bread (advanced version) is by far the tastiest and most satisfying bread we have made so far. Dense, complex and just the right texture. We started our own sourdough on whole grain rye, and have been adapting it for wheat bread as well, as needed. It is rather fun keeping our little buddy alive and happy. The book has some amazing recipes and very solid chapters on theory and practice in regards to yeast, sourdough, oven steam, baking methods and a while host of other things. Highly recommended. I don't know if there's an English version, but I'm finding it very helpful to improve my German skills as well. He also has a blog at ploetzblog.de, which has even more recipes.
