This podcast is everything a podcast should be: fun and entertaining while highly informative and helpful. I learn something every time I listen to Shelia. What a blessing- I look forward to each new episode! Thank you!

Thank you for a solid recipe. I purchased a well known Whole grain bread book, only to find the Spelt recipe wasn’t…whole spelt! Solid discussion and well written recipes make your site a pleasure.

When in SLO, bakery has awesome breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, savory choices, and nice sticky cinnamon rolls. Accidentally saw their Website featured podcasts. As the other reviewer said, the first nine podcasts demystify the science of baking bread, and explain why I had past bread (and bread machine) “short, squatty loaves,” and a solution for solving. Shiela’s way of phrasing teaching is funny and informative, so her teaching tips stick. You really do get a feel for the “good dough stage” and a mental framework for fixing failed loaves and adjusting recipes to your own taste. Such a gift. Highly recommend for fellow novices.

Sheila has given me the crash course introduction to bread baking I needed to get me started. I have quick bread baking experience but every time I would try “real breads” or yeast bread something would inevitably go wrong. Her episodes, especially, the first 10 were so helpful at demystifying bread baking and introducing the science behind fluffy bakery style bread. If you really want to learn about bread or pastry baking this show is for you!

This podcast is filled with great practical tips and advice from an actual bakery owner. It’s choked full of relevant information and back story told in a cohesive, easy to understand way. Love listening to it.

Thank you for all your information and recipes! This is the best podcast!

I’m so glad that I found this podcast. It’s so much fun learning bread baking techniques. I’m new to the bread baking scene and I find these episodes so informative.

I’m hooked! Wonderfully informative and got me excited to be more creative in the bread baking world! Wishing I was closer to the shop to walk in for some yummy treats! Also, I’m an equestrian and a cyclist too...so that was fun to connect on!

I love that we hear the “why” behind the “how.” Great information. I am not a master bread baker, but I made the honey wheat bread from episode 6 and it was DIVINE. I’ve listened to several other episodes and I’m hooked!

I’ve only completely listened to the flour episode but I was pleasantly surprised. I’m a basic home baker so I learned a lot and really appreciated the detailed descriptions and explanations of the different types of flour. I’m very curious to keep listening. Thanks for making a true bread podcast! I’ve wanted one for so long.
