Make consistent, bakery-quality bread at home
We'll have you whipping up Instagram-worthy loaves faster* than you can say "I bake my own bread now" (even if you've never baked before!)
*Ok, maybe not actually faster, but still: REALLY, REALLY FAST.
Homemade bread can be frustrating.
Maybe you've tried a few random internet recipes, only to be disappointed by a dense, flat, flavorless loaf. (How can the outside be burnt when the inside is raw?!)
Maybe you've made a few tasty loaves, but are struggling with consistency. Sometimes, your bread turns out; sometimes, it fails miserably. But you're not sure where you're going wrong - or what to do next.
Even when you feel like you have all the right tools (cookbooks! the internet! a fancy dutch oven!), some loaves are awesome and some are just...not.
Or maybe you've mastered a basic bread recipe and are ready to learn more, only to realize the next steps feel infinitely more complicated. (Why does a sourdough recipe feel like it's written in a different language?!)
Good news: That's where we come in.
In this online course, you'll learn our proven techniques to bake foolproof bread with confidence, one step (and one easy recipe!) at a time.
What our students are saying
Feedback from our latest student survey
I would for sure recommend this as a go-to for any friend that remarks on my bread making (and have)! It is so incredibly easy to use with the video tutorials and pictures at every step.
I can not stress enough how clueless I was before buying this course. I watched each video for the beginner loaf over and over the first time I tried to make it, and compared each of my steps to the pictures provided to make sure I was still "on track." That's made it super simple to follow and the recipes are forgiving in case I do make an error.
It is a great primer with awesome recipes and actually explains everything!
You'll become a damn near expert!
Easy to follow beginners guide to making delicious loaves!
A great way to learn!
Hands down the best course if you want to bake bread. Whether you're a beginner or have been doing it for awhile, definitely buy this course!
Dude take this course. It's like recipes but instead of a blog post before the recipe it's everything you need to do so you don't make a thousand mistakes.
Take this course if you're ready to:
- Truly understand the science of bread making: How to tell if dough has been kneaded enough, what to look for at each stage of the process, and more!
- Bake consistent, incredible bread - even without a recipe. Look, Mom, no index card!
- Modify any bread recipe to fit your schedule so you don't have to plan ahead.
- Identify (and fix!) common baking problems so you can bake taller bread with an open, airy interior (no doughy insides or dense loaves here!)
- Decode baking buzzwords like hydration, gluten, and more.
We break it down like this:

Nice to meet you!
I’m Jessie, your bread-baking cruise director and founder of recipe website Life As A Strawberry.
Our viral Easy Crusty Bread recipe has helped tens of thousands of people bake their first loaf of bread (it even picked up some celebrity fans along the way!)
After years of helping home cooks bake bread with our free recipes, we built this course to go even deeper, and take you from casual baker to total artisan bread world domination.
WE TAKE BREAD SERIOUSLY.
We want every single recipe we share to be a surefire hit. My team of professional cooks and recipe developers baked hundreds of loaves, polled dozens of taste-testers, and used more than 300 pounds of flour to test the recipes in this course. I've even guest lectured on yeast breads for Cornell University food science classes!

Everyday Artisan Bread
Take a peek inside the course with this quick 1 minute video!
I once took a (very long, very expensive) bread baking masterclass.
The instructor went on a rant about allllllll the people who, in his super-duper-expert opinion, really had no business baking bread at home.
Wrong equipment? "Forget it," he said. No training? "They probably shouldn't bother."
And I just remember sitting there thinking:
"I'm sorry. But F*CK. THAT."
Because here's a thing I know to be true, deep in my soul:
GREAT BREAD IS FOR EVERYONE.
There is no secret sourdough society: You don't have to make a blood oath to make the perfect loaf of bread (we're more about butter than blood oaths here anyway).
You don't need fancy equipment, or professional training, or hours upon hours of time to bake incredible artisan bread at home.
You just need the right teacher, giving you the right tools, in the right order (⬅️ IMPORTANT!)
And that's exactly what we give you in Everyday Artisan Bread.
You can bake amazing bread. It doesn't matter if you left your sourdough superhero cape at the dry-cleaners.

FAQs
What if I've never baked bread before?
Don't worry - we specialize in helping people bake their very first loaf of bread! Come as you are, whether you're a master baker or you've never baked a loaf of bread in your life.
We believe amazing homemade bread is for everyone – and WE ARE YOUR WELCOME WAGON.
How much time does the course take?
This is a go-at-your-own-pace online course, which means you're the bread boss! Move through the lessons as fast or slow as you like, and feel free to start, stop, and pick it back up again to fit your life and schedule.
If you bake one loaf of bread per week, it will take you about 6 months to bake through this course.
Do I need a stand mixer, bread machine, or special equipment?
Nope! In fact, we encourage you to make our bread recipes by hand so you can get a feel for how each dough should behave and perform - no fancy stand mixer required!
We love baking bread in a Dutch oven, but it’s not necessary to start – we’ll walk you through a handful of equipment alternatives so you can start where you are without having to buy anything. As the course progresses, we do encourage you to invest in a kitchen scale – they’re inexpensive but wonderful if you bake a lot!
Can't I find this stuff for free online?
You can find anything online these days! But the trouble with finding everything online for free is you have to wade through a lot of poorly written articles, tons of ads, recipes that don't work, etc. – which sucks up your valuable time and energy,
We created this course to cut out the clutter and give you the fastest way to get from A to B(read) with none of the side trips, extended narratives, and questionable advice in between. We cut the fluff and get you right to the good stuff.
How long do the recipes take?
Most of our yeast breads can be baked start-to-finish in under three hours, while most of our sourdough recipes will take at least 5 hours (and often a full day or overnight). That time isn't all hands-on, though (you can kick back while the dough rises!)
Everyday Artisan Bread also includes bread-baking timelines for every schedule. We’ve done all the adjustments, testing, and timelines so you don’t have to!
Just pick the schedule that fits your life best and start baking!
Do you cover sourdough bread?
YES! After more than a year of recipe testing, we released our much-anticipated sourdough section in May 2021.
This section is INCREDIBLY detailed: we walk you through building a starter (or using an existing starter), the science of sourdough, and nearly a dozen new recipes and timelines. You'll also get our exclusive sourdough worksheets, cheatsheets, custom loaf calculators, and baking timelines!
What recipes are included?
You get more than 25 exclusive (ad-free!) bread recipes in Everyday Artisan Bread in addition to our training sections, skills labs, and video lessons! Click here to see a preview of the course and scroll through the full curriculum.
Will you mail me a cookbook?
Everyday Artisan Bread is a digital course, delivered entirely online! You’ll create a login for our course website when you purchase. Use that login to access the course materials anytime you want! We do not provide printed, physical books.
