This melts my heart.
Every once in a while, I’ll receive pictures of my recipes made by you!Ā I couldn’t be more chuffed! Connecting with people from all over the world really blows my mind. Food is a universal language.
And lately, you’ve been baking bread.
I thought I’d share some of Ā your beautiful photos here on the blog.

Baked By Dave Neal, USA
Ah! That adorable baby!
Also, how about these loaves baked by dad? Dave made my Sourdough Noir.Ā He uses a banneton basket to achieveĀ those floured lines.
Baked By Samantha Daniel, USA
Samantha made my Traditional Sourdough. After troubleshooting, we determined her initial loaves lacked oven spring due to a lengthy second rise. She simply cut the time in half and produced these beauties! Not pictured is the coveted ‘crumb shot’ howeverĀ I was toldĀ the inside was incredibly fluffy.
I want to rip off a chunk and dunk in some soup…
Baked By Lacey Cole, USA
OK. Can we please discuss how pretty those swirls are? Teach me please.
Baked By Paul Dodds, Scotland
One of my favorite bread recipes on the blog: Light Brioche Hamburger Buns.Ā What a beautiful bake. Paul is a photographer too…
Baked By Bronwyn Smith, Australia
This is my Country Raisin Loaf adapted with 100% whole wheat flour. Check out that incredible rise & crumb! It’s very difficult to get good oven spring with whole grain flour, let alone using it exclusively. Well done.
Baked By Kathy Price, New York
What a cute duo! I love the slashing on these loaves, perfectly bloomed.
Baked By Colleen O’Neil, New Hampshire
I’ll never forget when I opened up this pic. I was drinking my morning coffee with a huge smile on my face. I can just tell how fluffy that crumb is.
Baked By Dillon, New York
My mini baker.
He insisted on posing with my latest loaf, a 48+ hour fridge proof (50/50 whole wheat and bread flour). I’m still working out the details on this one.
Stay tuned.

So, two more things…
First, I’ve selected the winner(s) of my sourdough bread contest. If you’re just joining us, I’m giving away 3 free Skype consults to help you with your baking questions. Check your email!
** Second, I have a question: would you be interested in joining my community? **
I’m thinking about starting a page here on the blog, showcasing your recipes. Think of it like a virtual potluck; a gathering place for people from around the world to share recipes, tips, and ideas. Bloggers and non-bloggers are welcome (with link backs and credits provided). If you’d like to join, let me know in a comment below! More details to follow.

Jayme Henderson says
I think this is a wonderful idea, Emilie. It is such a great way to share our stories together. These photos are personal expressions of creativity and provide such intimate glimpses into our lives in the kitchen. I’m in – what an excellent idea for building a sense of community! :-) Happy Wednesday, too!
Kelly @ Inspired Edibles says
I am way behind on everything but wanted to drop in to say hello and how much I love this post… wonderful share. All of the images resonate ~ they feel so personal and full of love and life stories. Beautiful.

I’d love to join! Count me in!

Awesome! I’m so excited. Thanks for the feedback! :)
Crista says
i LOVE the reader photos…. and how rewarding for you to see them :)
Emilie says
Hi Crista, thank you! I’m so glad you like the photos. I never know if I should post these sort of the things on the blog, but it’s how I feel: thankful. I hope you’re interested in sharing some recipes in this space too :)
Traci | Vanilla And Bean says
This is the BEST Emilie! And it’s all about sharing the bread love. Beautiful. That last loaf by Dillon – that is an eye popper for sure! Look at the blistering and the oven spring! Holy cow! I’d be a part of your lovely community! Thank you! xo
Emilie says
Thank you Traci!!! There’s such love and happy vibes going on over here, I’m so into it! And it’s not just the pictures either- it’s comments like yours that make me smile (sorry, such a cheese ball at the moment but that’s how I feel!). Glad you’re keen on joining the group. More details to follow. xoxo
Adri says
Bread love! What a wonderful compliment. You must be on cloud nine. There can be no higher praise than for your readers to make something of yours and then take the time to send pix to you. Brava!
Emilie says
Ahhhh! Who knew there were so many bread bakers out there! I truly love the pictures. HUGE smile. xo
Pam Green says
What a compliment to your recipes! This breads all look beautiful and carefully prepared by loving hands. I am a willing participant in your new page idea on your blog!
Emilie says
Thank you Pam! I love getting emails with pictures. It certainly is a compliment and keeps me going.
I’m glad you’d like to join the community! I have a feeling you’ll like it. I’ll post more details soon, but basically, I’m creating a page where people can post a photo of a finished dish with a link back to the actual recipe on their blog. It will be a fun and easy way to share recipes and meet new people.
Laura Wingfield says
I might enjoy that, I usually don’t share recipes if I have to write them out, I’m a good sharer of links I like etc. but most of my Mom’s I have on PDFs of scanned recipe cards so hate to have to rewrite them if I can avoid it. Why yes, I can be lazy.
Emilie says
Hi Laura! Oh, me too. Links are the easiest and sometimes, I’ll even take a picture of a recipe (with ingredients) on my phone and then send it to someone. Here on the blog, the community would share just a picture of a finished dish with a link to the actual recipe. :)
ruby88 says
Wow I love seeing how you’ve inspired others to bake bread. I’m not quite there yet, but I’m dreaming about it :) I love Dillon’s giant loaf!
Please tell us more about your community gathering. It sounds like fun!
Laney (Ortensia Blu) says
How wonderful to see all the finished products! Heart warming indeed!
Natasa | My daily sourdough bread says
Congratulations to the winners! :) And I like the idea of the community, I’m in.
Emilie says
Excellent! Thank you, Natasa. I’ll keep you posted with all of the details. :)
Lizzy (Good Things) says
A lovely idea! And what a wonderful collection of baked goods!
Emilie says
Thank you Lizzy! It was a beautiful to see all of these loaves, each made with their own unique style. Who knew a mixture of flour and could vary so much? It’s the little things or perhaps, ‘the good things’ in life. Have a great weekend ;)
