I got into sourdough later in life, and one thing I’ve learned is that where you learn matters just as much as what you learn. What I appreciate about Crust & Crumb Academy is that it’s not just people posting pictures of bread… it’s people trying to understand the process. There’s a real focus on why things work, not just what to do next. You can feel that in the conversations. People are helping each other think, not just follow instructions. That kind of environment makes a big difference, especially for beginners. It reminds me a lot of how I approach teaching… simplify things, focus on the fundamentals, and let the dough do the talking. If you’re serious about improving, it’s a good place to spend your time.
