Dark chocolate meets juicy cherries in this dramatically delicious boulé - where Dutch oven dreams come true (even if it was a tight squeeze... and it was - ruined my ear!!) #bakingsky

From cold-proofed dough to golden perfection! Stan the starter worked his magic - look at that stretch and the final salami crisp. Sourdough pizza night success! #bakingsky G'night BlueSky. Keep well.

On a 'lighter' note. Pizza night! The sourdough dough is cold-proofing thanks to Stan, my trusty starter. More photos of the final product will be along later! #bakingsky

"From starter fed through negotiations,
To final crusty celebrations,
You prove that patience yields reward:
A loaf both beautiful and adored." My ode to the humble sourdough. #bakingsky Just so people don't think my starter, Stan, is stuck up and only makes sweet treats.

Lunch today: Frittatine di Pasta! 🇮🇹 Check out that crispy golden crust giving way to creamy pasta perfection inside. Each bite is loaded with tender peas and bits of ham swimming in silky béchamel. Neapolitan street food fritters are pure comfort food magic! #crusty&delicate #foodsky

When your California-born sourdough starter proves he's more adaptable than you - thriving in Scottish weather and turning out perfect pizza crusts. Stan's living the international life with broccoli rabe, cotto salami, and fresh basil. Not bad for a 6-year-old desert expat.

Sunshine yellow shells dressed up in sprinkles, because French macarons can be both fancy AND fun. Hiding a sultry salted caramel buttercream inside. These little ones are here to spark all the joy.

When your Choux au Craquelin has a perfect crackly top and the cardamom-spiced vanilla pastry cream is just begging to escape... Sometimes the most satisfying bakes are the ones that can't contain themselves. #FrenchPastry

The hardest part of #sourdough baking? Not the levain. The torturous wait while it cools. Yeah. That. And yes, I'm that baker who'll lecture you about cutting warm bread. (so delicious tho) My starter has a name, Stan, and a feeding schedule - we're both thriving.

Fashionably late to National Bagel Day but time is just a social construct when you're busy perfecting sourdough nosh. Yes, I'm that person who makes their own bagels - and yes, they're better than those others. Come at me, store-bought. 🥯

Documenting 60, not because I love selfies (I really don't!), but because these become touchstones for future generations. Here's their ancestor, in semi-pressed linen and carefully coifed fringe, leaving a moment in time with no makeup (I don't do that), and a film grain filter. 🤭

Chocolate pistachio sourdough biscotti, because why should regular bread have all the sourdough fun? 😏
