Do you know how to make bread without yeast? This is a bread made with leaven- water and flour that has been fermented. This fermented leaven is what gives sourdough bread it’s rise and flavor. Baking Sourdough is a skill we should all have in our back pockets for that rainy day.

The intimidation factor with sourdough is high. But its really quite simple and I'm here to tell you- Anyone can do it! There is a learning curve- It took me 2 years to get it right because I lacked baking skills! Today I can teach you how to bake sourdough simply so you can have a successful loaf every time!
