Maybe not perfect, but I’m proud of the progress 🥖 I intentionally pushed the bulk ferment longer than I normally do this time, and I can definitely see a difference. Still learning and tweaking along the way, so I’d love your opinions and any advice on how to keep improving! Disclaimer: she may not have been fully cooled when I cut into her 😅 but it was 2am and I absolutely could not go to bed without seeing the crumb.

We're so glad you're here! A great place to start is to head to the classroom and complete the Sourdough Identity Quest. Then come back here, introduce yourself, and let us know what you discovered about your 'sourdough persona.' Peruse the posts, check out the classroom offerings, and engage with other members! A little about BreadScore™ ➡️ This is a tool that provides objective feedback on your baking based on visual analysis. 🌟 I think it is easier to see that in action than to try to explain it just now, so just head over to the BreadScore™ New Requests chat to see how it works. And next time you have a few pictures of a baked loaf, enter a request! 🌟 Thank you for being here! If you have any questions please feel free to post them anytime. ---------------------- ➡️ And just a little bit more...Sourdough Improvement Skool is a small but growing community (and just over a month old! Just a baby!) My goal here isn’t to be super slick or flashy. I just want members like you to stick around and be part of something that feels right and feels helpful and feels meaningful. I hope you will. ➡️ More about me. My day job is in strategic planning, but in a previous life I spent several years as a professional artisan baker. I’ve continued to bake bread off and on ever since. I still bake a couple times a week most weeks. ➡️ What makes this group special, truly, is the community members! Jump in. Be active. Engage. Share your successes and struggles. Let's improve our sourdough baking together!
