Wow! 400 Members! That is so awesome! So cool! I am thrilled that you are here learning sourdough & bread making with me! Thank you for being here! Every week that goes by, I am more convinced that this is where I need to be...I live and breathe the process. Even my advice to my kids is packed full of metaphors and examples around the bread making process...I am sure they are so annoyed "Mama talking about Sourdough...again!" ...but it is so valid. Have you discovered that the more we learn, the more we realize how much we still have to learn...and I am here for it! I had no idea the depth of this topic...and every day is an adventure. Thanks for being here! For fun, share something about the bread making process that surprised you?

May not be my 1st loaf but I’m still very new to this. Today I threw some herbs in and while I can’t see them (nw t time I’ll add more) it smells amazing! @Sandra Brenes curious why the bigger holes at the bottom once I slice it open ?

Welcome to April inside The Bread & Butter Way community. If you've been hanging around, watching, reading, and thinking "maybe one day I'll actually bake a loaf" — this month is for YOU. This April, we're rallying around one simple goal: your first loaf. Not a perfect loaf. Not a bakery-worthy loaf. Just your loaf — the one that proves to yourself that you can actually do this. The truth is, sourdough doesn't have to feel complicated or out of reach. It's meant to fit into YOUR life — your schedule, your kitchen, your pace. That's exactly why the free course inside this community exists. So here's your April invitation: - ✅ If you haven't started the "Your First Loaf: The Simple Way" yet — start this week. (click classroom - Your First Loaf: Start Here - Lesson 1 - ✅ If you're partway through — finish it this month. - ✅ If you've bake your first loaf — post a photo on Friday and tag it #FirstLoavesFriday No pressure. No judgment. Just a community full of people who were exactly where you are right now — and baked their way through it. Let's make April the month you stop saying "I want to try sourdough" and start saying "I made my first loaf." Comment "I'm In" if you are IN!

What are you best tips on how to score a sourdough loaf ? I cannot get a good ear on my loafs. Sometimes I feel the score is not deep enough. What tool is best? Thanks!

Hello Friends! I hope that you are doing well! Who is planning to join our zoom call at 8PM central tonight? I look forward to answering your questions & hearing all about the things you have been baking! See you soon! Sandra
