4 x 900g off via pizza peel. Each a little different in their own way, which is the right way. #sourdough #baking #madebyhand #bread 2K 49
This dough showed no restraint yesterday and it had me worried it wouldn’t last till the morning. I used a very ripe, stiff levain and pushed bulk just a bit too far. Salvaged, no doubt, with a tight shape, a-little-extra-cold retard, and shallow score. This was a mix of white, type 85, and freshly milled spelt. If it had been comprised of more than the 20% whole grain spelt, it certainly wouldn’t have been so merciful this morning. #baking #sourdough #bread 2K 30
New recipe! I just posted my 100% whole grain spelt pan loaf recipe to my website (link in profile). This is one absurdly delicious bread 🍞 Have a great rest of the week and happy baking! #sourdough #bread #baking #theperfectloaf 3K 113
A massive rustic galette makes all the things better. Used some homemade preserved peaches, blueberries, a vanilla bean, and the galette crust from @tartinebakery new book (which is amazing). #mytartinebake #galette #dessert #baking 2K 60
100% whole grain spelt pan loaf with a touch of olive oil. A little more work to go on this recipe, but as-is, super tasty! #baking #sourdough #theperfectloaf 2K 68

Hello, baker!

Baking healthy and delicious sourdough bread at home can be challenging, but I’m here to help.

For more than seven years I’ve kept this website running, a place where I fervently discuss all things sourdough bread. My mission here has always been to share my findings as I navigate the waters of baking from a home kitchen. I hope I’ve been able to help you bake bread — real bread — in your own home kitchen, perhaps saving you a little time through my obsessive testing.
