Praise for Baker’s Table Sourdough
“Like many, I’ve spent countless hours trying to perfect my sourdough. Watching videos, reading blogs, and experimenting with every tip I could find. The Baker’s Table Sourdough Video Course finally connected all the dots and helped me achieve the results I’d been chasing for over a year. The lessons are clear, practical, and gave me the confidence to consistently bake loaves I’m proud of.”
-Jake M.

“The Baker's Table sourdough book and video course gave me the confidence and tools to tackle my very first attempt at baking sourdough bread. It turned out shockingly well! I can hardly believe I made such good bread. I love the way the book and course are laid out. They are so easy to follow as I go through the steps, the book is a work of art, and Chef Dave's video course is a game-changer.”

The Hardcover Book
Baker’s Table Sourdough is a 135 page hardcover book, printed by the artisans at Signature Book Printing in MD, and featuring gorgeous color photos from Shelby Odessa and illustrations from Julia Lipovsky. It describes the exact method we use to make sourdough at Baker’s Table, and it explains—in vivid detail—everything the aspiring baker needs to know and understand to unlock the secrets of Artisan bread at home.
From the Book:
“Food culture in America—with big-box stores and endless seas of throwaway packaging—teaches us to disconnect from the journey our food takes on the way to our plate. We forget that flour is an agricultural product. We forget that our bread was created by a string of people with individual stories, folks who have put in many months of hard work.”
-Chef Dave Willocks
