My First Bread

Store-bought bread has little in common with the real thing. It leaves you with heaviness, bloating, digestive trouble, puffiness and breakouts.

Homemade sourdough is a different product entirely. It's made from simple ingredients, goes through a long, natural fermentation — and you know exactly what's in every loaf.

It’s for that feeling that I created the online course My First Bread. Together we'll grow a starter, learn to understand dough and feel it with our hands — and bake that very loaf you'll want to bake again and again.

You probably already know that recipes can fail in your kitchen. That's why I teach you to understand why bread behaves the way it does — so you stop depending on instructions and can bake confidently with your flour, your oven and your rhythm of life.

I'll explain why your starter suddenly stopped rising, help you figure out your dough, answer your questions and show you how to stop baking by the timer and start trusting your senses.
