The Sourdough Project

A beginner cookbook from a medical student. Real science, zero intimidation.

Sourdough has a reputation problem. Everyone makes it sound like you need a chemistry degree, a rigid schedule, and a starter with a more consistent sleep pattern than you. Here’s my pitch: if I can fit bread between study blocks in medical school, you can fit it into your life. I’m writing a beginner sourdough cookbook, and I’m testing every recipe live on TikTok before it goes in. The method is one simple, repeatable process. Lower hydration so the dough behaves. Hands-on time separated from waiting time, because your starter does most of the work while you do literally anything else.

• The cookbook: holiday 2026, 8 to 12 recipes, cups and grams, visual dough cues, troubleshooting, including sourdough banana bread.
• The free dough-state guide: a visual, histology-style atlas showing what underproofed, ready, and overproofed dough look like, what each means, and what to do. Free with newsletter signup.

One email when the guide is ready, then occasional baking notes. No spam, ever. Unsubscribe anytime.
