I'm Paul, and I've been baking sourdough since 2017. It started with a starter I got from a colleague — a sticky jar and handwritten instructions I barely followed. The first loaf was a dense, sour brick. I ate it anyway.

Now I bake two loaves a week, mostly for the family but sometimes for neighbours who've learned to show up on Saturday mornings. This blog is where I write down what works, because I kept forgetting my own methods.
