Just look at that perfect ear! Crisp, beautifully scored, and baked to perfection… this loaf is everything we love to see!

A big congratulations to @stormvillesourdoughco, our Featured Baker of the Month! Thank you for sharing your incredible bake and inspiring our baking community.

What’s a mistake or challenge that taught you the most in your baking journey?

Sourdough is not for the faint of heart. I’ve had many loaves that turned out like medieval flatbreads. But I love a challenge! And there is no better feeling when you have your first successful rise! It’s like a lightning bolt went off and it all just made sense.

What’s your favorite tip or technique for getting great results in the Challenger Bread Pan?

Throw a couple ice cubes in there when you first put your loaf in and you get a nice golden blistered crust as well as a beautiful rise.

How long have you been baking with the Challenger Bread Pan?

About 2 years now and I love it more every day!
