This CB period saw me baking lots of bread and this easy recipe has that nice crust and it freezes well too! I have these 2 scored differently bread frozen in the fridge to be consumed later. Come next week, there will be less time to bake. I’ve been dying to...

I started growing wild yeast for quite some time now, but the classic Sourdough takes too much time to bake. Thankfully, I found the baguette which takes a fraction of the time to bake. I grow my starter like a pet, feeding it every week and with every feed, I find...
