I'm kicking off a new series for the Academy this week, and this is the first installment.
The idea is simple. We're going to tackle the real questions working bakers are asking, the ones that don't get honest answers anywhere else. Each piece will live on the blog, get its own free PDF, and feed back into the work we're doing here in the Academy.
First up: Can you make sourdough if you work a 9-to-5?
The honest math. A real week broken down hour by hour. Starter care without the anxiety. The mental game where most bakers actually quit. And the long view of what this craft becomes at year five and year ten.
The free PDF is inside the post. Save it. Print it. Hand it to someone who's been telling themselves they can't bake.
Read it. Tell me what hits. Tell me what's missing.
This community helped me write it whether you know it or not. The questions you've been asking on Saturdays. The struggles you've shared in the comments. The breakthroughs you've posted at 9 AM with shaking hands because the loaf finally opened the way you wanted it to.
That's all in there.
I want you to see what we're working on. This Academy isn't a finished thing. It's a workshop. We're building tools, writing guides, recording videos, and shaping the next courses in real time. You're not just members. You're part of the build.
More coming.
