Hey everyone, 🌾Quick note from inside the Academy. You probably know I sold bread at farmers markets for years. Three years ago I wrote a book called From Oven to Market. Over and over inside this Academy I see the same pattern: home bakers who can bake bread that beats anything on a grocery shelf, who keep getting derailed when they think about actually selling it. Cottage food law, market booth setup, pricing, and the fact that nobody can drop $3,000 on a freelance website just to find out if there's actually a customer waiting. So they don't try. Or they try once and quit. 🌾I built From Oven to Market to fix that. https://skool.com/from-oven-to-market It opened yesterday as its own Skool community, separate from Crust and Crumb Academy. Different room, different conversations. Pricing math. Cottage food law, state by state. Market booth setup. Real numbers from real bakers. People at every stage, from "I'm just thinking about it" to "I sold out before noon last Saturday." 🌾Here's what's inside the community: https://skool.com/from-oven-to-market The new From Oven to Market classroom with nine course modules covering everything from foundations and cottage food law to the true cost of a loaf, insurance and risk, your exact farmers market kit, looking like a pro, the customer connection toolkit, market day sales, the AI-powered storefront builder, and scaling without burning out. Access to Recipe Pantry Pro recipes that scale from one loaf at home all the way up to a 24x market batch, with cost and margin math on every single one. A monthly Market Kit. One seasonal recipe pre-costed and priced. A print-ready cottage food label that meets the standard requirements. A market-angle playbook on what actually sells that month. And a one-page cheat sheet on a common legal or customer question. Periodic tips on bread science, fermentation, scoring, troubleshooting. The same plain-talk teaching you already know from me.

For months I've been working on something on the side. Not a course, not a book. A tool. Here's the thing. I've made hundreds of videos, articles, recipes, and lessons over the years. And even I couldn't always put my hands on the right one fast. Somebody would ask about dense crumb and I'd know the answer lived in three videos, a blog post, and a classroom module. Finding them all? That was the work. So I built myself a rolodex. One place that holds everything I've ever made, organized by topic. Twenty-nine topics. Videos, recipes, articles, classroom lessons, the books, the podcast. All of it. It's called The Bread Authority. You don't search for topics. You search for problems. Type "flat loaf" and it takes you to the answer. Type "overproofed dough" and it knows what you mean. Misspell sourdough at six in the morning with flour on your hands? It still finds you. It was designed for me. But why keep it to myself. It's free, and it lives here: https://baking-great-bread.lovable.app/bread-authority There's a 60-second tour at the top of the page if you want to see it work before you dig in. I'll have it pinned in the classroom near the top of the page by close of business so it's easy to find. Now tell me this. What's the one bread problem you could never find a straight answer for? Drop it below. If The Bread Authority doesn't already cover it, I'll build it. ~ Henry⭐🔥

I’m still buzzing from it. The photos, the saves, the way you all showed up for each other in the threads. That’s the whole point of this place right there. The full recap is in the oven right now. I gave myself a 3 o’clock deadline, so keep an eye out this afternoon. You’ll want to see who showed up swinging. While I’ve got you, I’m building out this month’s bake-along agenda and I want your voice in it. Here’s the question: What bread do you want to learn? Not the loaf you already pull off in your sleep. I mean the one that’s been staring you down. The bake you keep scrolling past because it looks like more than you’re ready for. That’s the one I want to hear about. This calendar is built to stretch you, not keep you comfortable. I’ll announce this week’s bread tomorrow. But the rest of the month is still wet clay, so tell me what you want to see on it. Drop it in the comments. Be specific. If three of you name the same loaf, it’s going on the calendar. ~ Henry ⭐🔥

We just pulled the last of the English muffins off the rack, so we're switching gears. This weekend the Saturday Bake-Along is pizza, and there's a lane for every one of you. 🙌 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧. 🗽 New York Style is our anchor bake. Beginner-friendly, foldable, chewy, and it bakes in a regular home oven. No pizza steel required, no 900-degree wood oven. If you've never made pizza from scratch, this is your loaf. Mix the dough Friday, ball it, let it cold ferment in the fridge, and bake Saturday. You can also go same-day with a 2-hour rise if Friday gets away from you. 👉 https://skoo.ly/ny-style-pizza 🔥 Sourdough Neapolitan is the stretch track for anyone who wants the blistered, leopard-spotted crust and wants to put Vitale to work. Heads up: this one runs about 3 days. Build your levain now, today or tomorrow, so you're ready by Saturday. 20% inoculation, a long cold ferment, the works. This is the one that rewards patience. ⏳ 👉 https://skoo.ly/sd-neapolitan 👧 Kids Can Bake Personal Pan Pizza is for the family table. One 10-inch pizza per kid, they make their own sauce, shape their own crust, pick their own toppings. Same-day, no starter, done in an afternoon. If you've got little ones, pull up a chair and let them run the show. 🧒 👉 https://skoo.ly/kids-personal-pan 🍞 Two loaves, or in this case two pies, is the house standard. Pick your track, post your progress in the thread, and don't wait until Saturday to ask questions. The information is in the dough. 📸 Post your bakes. I want to see the crust, the crumb, the char, the kid-built chaos pizzas, all of it. Perfection is not required. Progress is. Henry ⭐🔥
