Sourdough Demystified
Healthy, Fermented, Homemade-Without the Intimidation.
I’ve been baking bread for over 20 years, and I’ve been caring for my sourdough starter since Dec 2, 2011—long before it was a trend. If you want real, nourishing bread (and the confidence to understand sourdough), you’re in the right place.
Demystified
Sourdough doesn’t have to be fussy or confusing. I break it down in plain language, share what I’ve learned, and offer small-batch loaves made with care—so you can enjoy fermented, wholesome bread you feel good about.
First Rise
Watching the dough lift as it takes in air during its long fermentation.
Shaping Loaves
Punching down and shaping for the second rise.
Ready to go in the Oven
After several hours of proofing, the loaf is ready to be baked.
Fresh Bread
The moment the oven door opens to reveal golden, crusty sourdough fresh from the heat.
