Featured Baker of the Month

Johnny | Obsessed With Sourdough

@sourdventures

Congrats to Johnny @sourdventures, you’re our Challenger Featured Baker of the Month!

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

The most important thing is taking good care of your starter.

Tell us something memorable about your sourdough starter (name, origin, quirks).

My starter has been through it! Once I accidentally cooked it in a preheated oven, another time I dropped the jar and broke the glass and had to use the scraps that were on the spoon sitting in the sink to revive it. I also ALWAYS taste my starter before using it (pH meters are so expensive).

Who or what first inspired you to start baking bread?

During the pandemic, I started seeing bread posts on my IG and I was impressed by the technicality and science behind sourdough. I’m inspired by many such as Trevor Wilson, Chad Robertson but when I first started Bread by Joy Ride Coffee (Youtube channel) was my biggest inspiration.
