Happy National #Sourdough Bread Day! I’ve baked around 100 sourdough loaves while working on my upcoming #picturebook, #BREADDAYS! I love how baking sourdough is a slow process and how every loaf turns out uniquely different. Here are some of my favorites - from toad-looking ones to leafy ones!

Bread Days proofs are here! I’m currently going through them page by page, checking all the colors and details 👀 So far, they are looking great!

If you are excited about #BreadDays, please #preorder a copy from your favorite bookstore!
