The Bakers Office started with a loaf of sourdough I couldn’t find.
Some time in 2016-17, my elder brother visiting from the US, wanted sourdough bread for his daughter. I looked around, but couldn’t find anything that came close to the bread they were used to.
Off and on i kept reading about it and the idea stayed with me.
Around 2022, I decided to try making it myself.
What exactly should a good sourdough bread be …
I really wanted to know , and I could not really appreciate what was on offer.
Maybe I was too naive or I wanted something better.
What started as an experiment became a serious hobby — learning about starters, flour, fermentation, hydration and all the things that make a loaf of bread surprisingly complicated.
Over time, the bread got better. Much of it went to friends and family, and whenever I baked more than I needed, I shared it.
And, while doing all this I moved beyond bread – cookies, brownies, rum cake & much more.
I enjoy baking – and i can’t eat it all – so it’s time I shared some with my community and those who may appreciate it.
I’ll do small batches. Things I enjoy making. Things I hope you’ll enjoy eating.
