I won't be releasing a new recipe for us to bake for the last week of May. Instead, use the week to bake whatever sourdough bread you want and submit for a BreadScore™ analysis. Next Sunday, May 31, will be the last day to submit for this round, so don't miss your chance to level up! (If you want to check where you stand just send me a message.) JUNE RECOGNITION CALL - Tuesday, June 2, at 7:30 p.m. EST. Don't miss the live call when I'll announce our latest group of certified bakers for each level along with our member of the month. You'll find the log-in link on the Calendar tab. And if you can't join us live, be sure to catch the recording! If you've never requested a BreadScore analysis, now is a great time to give it a try! You're always welcome to submit one publicly or privately so you can see for yourself why others here find this a really valuable benefit. Give it a try, and let me hear what you think! Enjoy the weekend and keep baking!

Hi, I’m David. I help bakers navigate from novice to Sourdough Master and beyond using proven systems and frameworks in the Sourdough Improvement community. Here are some tips to help you get started: ➡️ Complete the Sourdough Identify Quest located on the Classroom page. This is a quick exercise to help you think about what specifics improvements and growth areas you wish to focus on here at Sourdough Improvement. It only takes a few minutes. When you get the results, I’d love it if you share those in a post so we all can get to you know you a little bit better! ➡️ Read about our sourdough baker certification roadmap. This is how we publicly recognize those who are making strides in their sourdough improvement journey. ➡️ Learn about our BreadScore™ visual analysis system and how to request an analysis for your sourdough bread. This is free for all community members! For best results submit up to 3 photos of your bread. Close ups, well-lit, and in focus work best. A brief description of ingredients and quantities along with your baking process (mixing, bulk fermentation, Dutch oven vs. open bake, etc.) helps ensures you get the best feedback. ➡️ Try out the Sourdough System Reboot. If you’re a beginning sourdough baker or just wanting get back on track with the basics, this recipe and approach are super helpful. In fact, I highly recommend all members give it a try as ‘baseline’ bake. ➡️ Check out the Classroom resources. More are being added all the time to help you on your sourdough improvement journey. (Note: if you’re a new member you may need to wait up to 24 hours for some Classroom resources to unlock.)
