Google came by earlier this year to spend a few days baking with me at home. I got to share my obsession with baking sourdough and to talk about my other life as a software engineer and co-creator of the SkyView app. I got to talk endlessly about bread, baking tools, spreadsheets, and fermentation. By the end, I think they just wanted to eat some bread 🙂 Thanks for the visit! #imakeapps #baking #sourdough #skyview 2K 223
Ahh panettone, you tricky beast. Still playing with this naturally leavened wonder. This is the primo impasto after 10hr overnight @ 28C—almost quadrupled. Super strong rise but as my previous tests have shown, that means nothing. Most of my issues have presented in the next phase, the secondo impasto. We shall see if my lievito madre maintenance and usage was more on point this time! #baking #panettone #lievitomadre #sourdough 4K 69
I took a stab at this naturally leavened cinnamon roll recipe by @kingarthurflour and did a little write up for their blog on the process. They came out fantastic! I chose to do a two day ferment with this dough and retarded it in bulk, making rolling and topping the next morning super easy. Some seriously fluffy buns right here ✨#baking #sourdough #kingarthurflour 4K 131
Sliding into Sunday with an easy cookie bake. Still based on my fav recipe at the NYT from @davidleite! #cookies #weekend #baking 2K 27
Early mornings out of the oven. 50% white, 50% whole grain (spelt/wheat/rye). Starting the weekend right ✨ #baking #sourdough #bread 2K 40
Naturally leavened babka filled with a mix of cinnamon, cardamom, orange zest, and, well, sugar. All the curves. #sourdough #baking #babka 5K 190

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.
