Hello!
Welcome to the Briar Patch Oven. I'm excited to share my sourdough adventure with you.
I've always loved baking and working with my hands, so naturally I avoided sourdough because I thought it was too complicated. Until I had a YOLO moment and said why not, let's do it. A friend gave me some starter and the rest is history. I quickly became obsessed with the precise scientific nature of bread baking, but also the community and togetherness that bread creates. My kids love it, even the crust, and not to brag, but we don't by bread anymore.
I have a lot of hobbies and jobs, CrossFit Coach, Photographer, Marketer, Mommin' and of course baking. Working with sourdough has helped me in so many ways. It has given me delicious bread to feed and has helped me slow down and pay attention, to work with the dough, not against it.
My goal is create beautiful, yummy loaves of bread that everyone can enjoy and share.
