Let’s go on an adventure!

Sourdough baking is an adventure that best starts with a guide. Chef Rick Bayless said, “The joy of cooking lies in the process, not just the end result. Enjoy each step and savor the journey.” Sourdough baking is as rewarding as it is challenging, however, every loaf you bake gives you experience and knowledge that carries over into the next. I’m so glad you’re here to begin your journey together.
