Excellent community

This community is amazing. It has helped me so much with my sourdough skills and new ones too. The Saturday bake along are so much fun because it's not like a recipe out the book and if you get stuck you have to figure it out by yourself... No you have a whole community there to help. I feel right at home and I'm loving every minute

Sourdough Baking

I recently joined The Crust and Crumb Academy as I am a new sourdough beginner. Henry created this platform of beginners to advanced bakers. He caters to all different levels and he is always there to assist and guide us. He is very informative and always has tricks up his sleeve. How to tackle the situation and how to improve it by always challenging us to think. He definitely knows his baking and history to the art of baking successful bread and an array of various bakes as well. This has definitely opened my eyes to baking to a different dimension and the world is definitely your oyster. I am so fortunate to stumble across this group and decided to join. I have not looked back as every day I am broadening my horizons in being a successful home baker.

This baking site is awesome!

I recommend this site to anyone beginning or proven baker to use this site. There is so much support to answer any questions you may have. Problem solving with lots of images to follow and a lead baker-Henry who wants you to succeed and encourages you along, whether there is lots of room for improvement and many opportunities to succeed and to not give up. I haven’t been a member long but I am enjoying it immensely.
