✨ Welcome to the table ✨ You’ve pulled up a chair in a space built on kindness, curiosity, and community. This is a generous, judgment-free corner of the internet where questions are encouraged, wins are celebrated, and learning happens together. Before you dive in, take a moment to read through these simple guidelines — they help keep The Crumb Table a warm, supportive place for every baker at the table 💛 1️⃣ Be Kind & Encouraging We’re all at different points in our sourdough journey. Speak with warmth and patience. Celebrate wins and lift others up — no harsh criticism, ever. 2️⃣ No “Perfect Loaf” Pressure This isn’t Instagram highlight reel territory — it’s a learning space. Share your real bakes, messy crumbs, and lessons learned. Progress > perfection. 3️⃣ Ask “Why” Often Curiosity drives growth! Don’t hesitate to ask questions — big or small. Every question helps someone else learn too. 4️⃣ Share to Teach, Not to Sell We love sharing knowledge, not sales pitches. Please avoid self-promotion, affiliate links, or unrelated advertising. 5️⃣ Respect the Table No unkind behavior, divisive topics, or language that makes others feel unwelcome. We bake better when everyone feels safe here. If any such behavior is seen or reported, you will be warned once and ONLY once! If such behavior occurs again, you will be banned from the group! 6️⃣ Credit Creators If you share a recipe or method from someone else, give credit. We value learning and integrity. 7️⃣ Keep It Organized Use the right topics for your posts (Starter Support, Baker's Banter, etc.) so others can find and learn from your experience easily. 8️⃣ Celebrate Others Comment on posts, cheer others on, and be generous with your encouragement — community grows when we all contribute. 9️⃣ Share Feedback Gracefully If offering advice, frame it kindly: “Here’s what’s helped me…” instead of “You did that wrong.” 🔟 Enjoy the Process - HAVE FUN🎉 This space is about learning with joy and connection — not rushing results. Sourdough takes time, and so does mastery. Savor both🕊️

I'm so glad you're here - truly! This isn’t a sourdough group for perfect loaves and quiet comparison. This is a place to learn how dough actually behaves, ask questions without feeling silly, celebrate the wins, and laugh at the flops (because we’ve all had them)! Whether you’re brand new, years into baking, or running a bakery — you have a seat at the table! I’m always baking, testing, and paying attention, then bringing the useful stuff back here so you don’t have to sift through the noise! Start here 👇🏼 • Answer the poll + say hi - Introduce Yourself with a post! • Check out your welcome gift in the classroom! • Jump into the current Monthly Baking Challenge or level up to unlock "The Welcome Rise" mini course that will get you started on your journey! • Post what you’re working on — dough pics, questions, panic moments and all • Catch Coffee Hours live or on replay when it works for you ☕ This is a judgment-free table. Real learning. Real people. One loaf at a time. Apron on, starter fed (or not — no shame here). I’m glad you pulled up a chair!🫶🏼 🌟How To Level Up🌟 If you check out the "Leaderboards" Tab you'll see the different levels you can reach!

When I first started sourdough, I made these sourdough skillet pizzas... when I tell you they're SO good!! 📝Side note: I have lots of recipes to type up for you guys😅🤣 I'm working on a website for you but it will take me a good while so bear with me if you can! Anyway, back to the pizza topic lol. I'm ABSOLUTELY making some today and I will try to remember to record the process to show you guys!
