We discuss his early bread education through the “backdoor school of baking” and the founding of his bakery, Bread Alone, in 1983. He shares his thoughts and experiences gained from nearly 40 years of baking and through his friendships with bakers from around the world and he tells us why he thinks we are just at the beginning of the local grain economy movement, here in America, and what it means for the future of artisan bread.

If you are new to sourdough, perhaps in the middle of creating your first starter, reading books and blogs, practicing your scoring technique, still pulling giant sourdough pancakes from your oven, but loving every minute of your new found passion... If you are casual microbiology nerd, food history geek...

This is your podcast.... the Sourdough Podcast. This is the podcast that will keep your baking passion alive - and hopefully help keep your starter alive in the process. We are going to dive into all things Sourdough. Formulas, technique, books, bakers, millers, farmers. On the Sourdough Podcast we want to hear the personal stories of people like you who, and how they discovered their passion for naturally leavened old world style artisanal bread.
