This one hit different. David Bachman — self-described Tech Geek and Proud Baker — reached out recently and said something that genuinely stopped me in my tracks: “You are doing amazing work, and Crust & Crumb Academy has become one of my top resources to send other bakers to. Your craft and dedication to helping other bakers is inspiring!!” When someone tells you they’re sending OTHER bakers your way, that’s the win right there. That’s the whole point. I started the Crust & Crumb Academy because I believe every home baker deserves real knowledge, real community, and real progress — not just recipes. Hearing that it’s becoming a go-to resource for bakers helping other bakers? That’s the dream. Thank you, David. You made my day. 🙏🍞 If you’re ready to level up your baking, come join us. Real bakers. Real progress. 👉 https://www.skool.com/crust-crumb-academy-7621/about

The Sourdough Improvement Skool will help anyone transform their sourdough baking. We help you stop guessing and start mastering. Perfect your loaf with BreadScore™ & expert coaching in an intimate and supportive community. One of our founding members, Tim, just told me he's learned more and improved more in the past two weeks than during the past two years of regular sourdough baking. ✔ Most sourdough advice is just "vibes."
