Let's be honest. You want to make bread that looks and tastes like it came from a bakery, but you don't want to turn your kitchen into a science lab or wake up at 4am. I get it.

Who is this For?

This method is perfect for sourdough beginners, busy people or anyone previously scared off by complicated recipes. If you want amazing bread without stress, stick around!

The Basic Loaf Approach

My approach is hands-off. We let the dough sit and do its thing while you get on with your day. Day 1 is a quick mix and some waiting. Day 2 is baking. That's it.
