More pane for me! And some pizza lol all for only $9! So glad the local Italian grocery store has so many options. Small bags but still hopeful for good quality since it cost more to order it online!

My neighbor and I have talked about getting together to teach each other our passion projects for over a year now. Well, today was the day. She and her sister joined me in my baking studio for an afternoon of sourdough baking. We used a very basic recipe and practiced shaping, scoring & baking a sourdough loaf. In between the process we mixed up a new batch and talked about fermentation. They took dough home in buckets to bake with tomorrow, a few borrowed tools, instructions and their freshly baked loaves from today. It was a sweet, rewarding afternoon and they were both so pleased with themselves! Kudos to @Henry Hunter from Crust & Crumb Academy for the great beginner recipe!

Congrats to our first two certified Sourdough Specialists!
