The Bread Authority — and a little game to go with it

⭐

🔥

Hey everyone,

Both of my parents were teachers. The way they knew a lesson had truly landed wasn't a grade on a test. It was watching a student walk off and succeed on their own with the skill they'd just been taught. That was the proof.

That's exactly what I built the Bread Authority to do for you. When you sit down to tackle a new recipe, I want you to have an entire encyclopedia at your fingertips, and Krusty, your friendly bread baking assistant, right there beside you. A place to search out the answer in an article. A place to see the what-for, the how-to, the when-should-I, and the why in a video. A place to find the fix for a problem fast, so you can bake on your own with confidence.

Here's how it came to be.

When a member would ask me about the poke test, or windowpane, or a wide-bladed lame, or why their bulk fermentation stalled out, I knew I had something that could help. The problem was finding it. It could be in one of 300+ blog posts, or 175 articles, or 48 classroom modules, or somewhere in over 400 YouTube videos. Maybe even one of our shorts. Putting my hands on what I needed took 30 to 45 minutes sometimes. That's not a good use of time, yours or mine.

So I built the Bread Authority. It's a digital Rolodex of everything I've ever published, organized so I can get to the right piece of content in seconds instead of half an hour.

Now I'm turning it into a game.

Head over to bakinggreatbread.com/bread-authority. Scroll down a bit and you'll see the Scavenger Hunt. That's where you come in.

I pulled 17 questions from a pool of 34, mixed difficulty, with a speed-run option if you want to race the clock and progressive streak celebrations as you chain correct answers together. Hit Hot Streak, then On Fire, then Unstoppable, then Legendary, then Bread Authority. When you finish, you can post your score straight to the live leaderboard, or copy your result and paste it back here so we can all see how you did.

Your personal best stays saved on your device, so you can keep chasing a faster clean sweep. The leaderboard resets every week so newcomers always have a shot at the top.

This whole thing exists because I got tired of digging through my own work to answer your questions. Now you get to see how deep this rabbit hole goes.

Go play it. Post your score. Tag me when you take the number one spot.

Perfection is not required. Progress is.
