Experience breeds confidence.

About 20 years ago now - I decided I really wanted to learn how to make sourdough artisan bread. I read what I could, and this was well before you could find anything on Youtube - so I went to the local technical college where they had a culinary school (later one of my son's would graduate from that school) and asked them for advice - they told me about using a Dutch oven. Later I asked a local bakery if they could give baking lessons - this bakery has the best bread around - and they said no. (though I have to say that bread probably isn't even close to @Henry Hunter 's) Over the years I've gotten better - but without people to talk to about what's going right, what's not and WHY things happen - it was very slow going. And then this community happened. Just wanted to tell you all how grateful I am for you and for this space.

I would love a healthy whole grain recipe which is gluten free

@Donna Angelo took my Foolproof Sourdough Loaf, added fresh blueberries, and pulled off a bake that's clean, open, and beautiful. Look at that crumb. Look at that crust. This is exactly what I talk about when I say mastering a recipe means baking it until it bores you. Then you make it yours. Donna did that. She knew how the dough was supposed to feel, so when the blueberries changed it, she adjusted. That's not luck. That's skill built through repetition. Well done, Donna. This one belongs to you. 👏🫐 Drop your questions about fruit inclusions below. Let's turn this into a learning moment for the whole community. https://cozy-pulsar-r5fs.here.now/ ~ Henry ⭐🔥
