SOURDOUGH AND LOVE

In spring 2017, we embarked on a road trip with an audiobook download of Sourdough by Robin Sloan. The author’s words inspired us to pursue baking bread together as a passion project. When you create a sourdough starter, you are encouraged to give it a name since this is something that you will need to care for on a daily basis. We came up with SAL, short for ‘sourdough and love’.

During our journey, we have had the pleasure of learning from master bread baker and author Sarah Black, renowned pastry chef Aaron Clouse, Tom Edwards of MozzaPi at his acclaimed Artisan Bread Camp, master bread baker Wayne Caddy at his Sourdough Slingers course just outside of London, England in addition to Italian master baker Alberto Bernardi in our Panettone quest.

In January 2022, we launched Crust X Crumb Bakehouse to take our passion for baking bread and bakes to the next level.
