STICK WITH US, AND WE'LL HAVE YOU CHURNING OUT INSTAGRAM-WORTHY LOAVES FASTER THAN YOU CAN SAY "I BAKE MY OWN BREAD NOW."*
*Ok, maybe not actually faster, BUT STILL: REALLY REALLY FAST.
At the start of 2020, baking bread got, *ahem*, TRENDY AF. Sourdough starters dominated Facebook feeds everywhere. Homemade bread was basically the pet rock of the pandemic.
Baking bread felt HARD, and it seemed complicated to get the right ratio of flour to yeast to eye of newt (that's in there, right?)
Maybe you read through a bunch of random (and confusing) bread recipes for free online, only to find yourself terrified of wasting expensive ingredients. You might have worried your house was too cold, or that you wouldn't be able to follow all of the complicated steps in a recipe as a beginner.
Maybe your dough didn't rise at all, or maybe it flatlined into a sad bread pancake as soon as it hit the oven. *cue all the sad violins*
And okay: you might not have "foodie" plastered across your social bios, but you're an ADULT! You feed yourself! You grocery shop! (or at least you hit "order" on Instacart every few weeks). You even have a few signature recipes (looking at you, charcuterie-board-for-two-for-one 😉)
Homemade bread feels...intimidating. And starting from zero has you more than a little nervous.
But wouldn't it be great if there was a resource that taught you buzzword-free baking from preheat to "let's eat"?
INTRODUCING
It's the greatest thing since...sliced bread??
(SORRY NOT SORRY, we're hilarious and we know it *self-five*)

FOOLPROOF BEGINNER'S LOAF
We start with our foolproof beginner's loaf! Bake your first loaf and master the most important techniques you need for great bread.
BASICS & YEAST BREADS
Learn about hydration, gluten, the best flours to use, and more as you master the art of artisan bread made with yeast.
FLAVORS & RIFFS

BEYOND BREAD
Think outside the loaf while you learn to repurpose our signature doughs into new shapes and styles! Make homemade bagels, rolls, and more.
SOURDOUGH
[NEW!]
Take your bread to the next level with our sourdough section! Learn to build, maintain, and bake with a sourdough starter.
I’m Jessie, your bread-baking cruise director and founder of recipe website Life As A Strawberry.
Our Easy Crusty Bread recipe has helped tens of thousands of people bake their first loaf of bread.
When our bread recipe took the internet by storm (it even picked up some celebrity fans along the way!) we built Everyday Artisan Bread to dive deeper, share more recipes, and take you from casual baker to total artisan bread world domination.
We want every single recipe we share to be a surefire hit. My team 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!
When you buy Everyday Artisan Bread, you get more than just an online course. You get a whole team of baking besties to cheer you on, answer your questions, and help you succeed – long after we’ve made a sale. Just think of us as your personal, in-house, bread-baking cheerleaders!
DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT!
"Diving into the course in earnest this morning and this is incredible. So well done, CLEARLY so much thought, time and effort put into it. This is amazing."
- Chelsea Cole, Recipe Developer and Cookbook Author at A Duck's Oven
"I took bread baking in culinary school and the amount of complex information made my head spin. This course takes all of that same information and puts it into an easily digestible format that’s tailored to home bakers while being comprehensive, encouraging and fun. It’s so much more than a cookbook – it’s more like an interactive textbook, with the added support of video training, skills labs, and a team of people to answer any questions. You can totally make amazing bread at home regardless of your skill level, and this course will teach you how!"
- Nicole Gaffney, Food Network Star Runner-Up and Blogger at ColeyCooks.com
"I really like the learning aspect to the book! I like that it’s not just a recipe, but an abundance of options. But it’s not overwhelming!"
- Sophie, High School Teacher

The instructor spent the day ranting 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."
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.
When it comes to teaching new bakers, WE HAVE ZERO CHILL. Because breaking things down into simple steps so you get perfect bread every time, with none of the jargon or overwhelm? That's our superpower.
Here's a peek at our teaching style:
DAY ONE:
BAKE BREAD
We don't make you read a 50 page memoir before you even see a recipe. Jump RIGHT in with our foolproof Beginner's Loaf, then follow our lessons to build your skills from there!

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.
We can't wait to see you inside Everyday Artisan Bread!
Once you complete your purchase, you'll receive instant access to all course materials.
Happy baking!
