I did have a blowout. Also, I think my Dutch oven was way too big for this loaf so that caused it to spread out more I think?? But the flavor was spot on! It was so good! And yes, this is the loaf that someone, or NO ONE, apparently, put a container of sour cream on while in the fridge. I thought it was ruined!

Just dropped. Come watch with me. I'll be in the chat answering questions in real time. This one takes the fear out of the number on the recipe card. If you've ever stared at an 80% hydration dough and wondered what you got yourself into, this is for you. See you in the chat. ~ Henry ⭐🔥

Hi 👋🏾 everyone, l just joined and looking forward to meeting and interacting with everybody in the group. I have been learning to bake bread 4mths listening to chatgpt and sharing my pics. I think l kinda getting frustrated and really need some help with actual people for feedback. There's nothing wrong with chatgpt but some times its a hit or miss on feedback. Thanks for accepting me in the group 🙂

Hey everybody, I got the honor of being interviewed for the Bake This Book podcast, hosted by Eric Fabin of SourHouse (yes, the folks behind the Goldie starter heater we all know and love). The episode dropped today, and I'm excited to share it with you. This interview was conducted one week before I decided to start Crust & Crumb Academy. I wish I had you all to talk about then. We covered a lot of ground. The early days of baking. How this community came to life. What I've learned from teaching thousands of home bakers. And a few stories I don't think I've told anywhere else.
