A Sourdough Blog for Beginners
Imagine this: you’ve got a beautiful bubbly starter, you’re ready to make the dough, and everything is set for an overnight rise.
Easy, right?
You’ve followed the recipe to a T! Nothing could go wrong.
Except, when you wake up the following morning the dough has barely risen at all. Maybe only a few inches. The dough is cold, dense, and sort of lifeless (just like your mood).
What gives? Why won’t your sourdough rise?…
It’s here! It’s here!
Artisan Sourdough Made Simple is NOW available in stores!
If you’ve been following along, you already know about my new beginner’s guide (see this post). Please indulge me with a few final thoughts on publication day!
If you’re curious about sourdough but feel completely overwhelmed, I always tell people this: just treat sourdough like you would any other recipe. Follow the directions and DON’T OVERTHINK IT. Anchor yourself to the process, remember to have fun, and then imagine yourself cutting into the most scrumptious, crusty loaf that will rival any bakery-style boule. That’s the secret!
Got all that?
Now, let’s celebrate with a video!…
Yes! Yes! Yes!
You can totally do this!
Even if you’re not a professional bread baker, you can still make incredible brioche at home.

My secret?
Use a stand mixer for easy, hands-off kneading. Personally, I wouldn’t make these rolls without one (total prep time, 10 minutes!).
This step-by-step tutorial will show you exactly how to do it. It’s geared towards both beginners and seasoned bakers alike.
And because time is of the essence, I’ve also included 2 simple ways to fit bread baking into your busy, everyday schedule.
