For years I did not think I was qualified to teach a sourdough class, since I am completely self-taught. Dozens of workshops later, I am walking you through my exact two and a half hour class, start to finish, in part one of a three-part series.

On my busiest bake weeks, dinner used to be the first thing to fall apart. Cassy Joy Garcia showed me how one short prep day makes three meals, and how to keep a real lunch ready for yourself on bake days.

I once sat at a pumpkin patch for nine hours and sold four loaves of bread. That day taught me the framework I now use for every market and event, and I am sharing all four questions before your holiday calendar fills up.
