Whole Grain Sourdough Baking, All blog posts

The last three times that I’ve finished writing a book, I’ve been really motivated towards my writing my next one, sometimes concurrently putting the finishing touches on the last book while excitedly mapping out and researching the next one.

This time it’s a bit different.

I have some possible ideas for new books, but nothing that is really shouting out to me as something I need to work on right away. At the same time, I feel like I want to share more online for free about sourdough.

I’ve created a free email list. On Friday every week, from now until October, I’ll be to be sending out a short “Floury Friday” email looking at various aspects of sourdough. This is your chance to deepen your knowledge of sourdough baking, one bite-sized email at a time. There’s going to be recipes, explanations of sourdough techniques, answers to obscure questions, and more.

If there’s anything sourdough-related that you’d like to learn about, please leave a comment here and I’ll add it to my list of post ideas.

As a bonus, I’m giving away a copy of my sourdough discard recipes eBook to everyone that joins the mailing list. To join in, simply enter your email on this form:
