Why We Made This:

At Acts of Sourdough, our mission is to take the scary out of sourdough. I want you to feel like you’re learning alongside a friend. I created this guide to do just that. You don’t need fancy tools or years of experience—just a little guidance, your starter flakes, and a warm kitchen.

From my kitchen to yours.
