Christian bakers rising: Bake & sell fresh sourdough at church to fund local congregations. Healthier bread. Stronger communities. One loaf at a time. πβοΈ
Week 16 update:
πβοΈWe sold 10 loafs, 3 bakers.
Smaller week cause I was on work travel the whole week, but so awesome to have the others there to hold it down πͺπͺ
Tried my hand at a baguette for the first time too!

Hot take: summer is actually the best time to get into sourdough.
Warm kitchens = faster fermentation = quicker results = less intimidating for beginners.
You don't need a perfect starter. You need a warm counter and a free afternoon. Who's starting this week?

One of the best parts of baking is the way kids get involved.
Today, while I was letting the top oven cool, they used it a roof and built a cozy little house. βοΈππ

Real talk: June is a sourdough baker's best month. Warm kitchen = active starter = faster ferment = better bread. If you've been intimidated all winter β this is your moment. The conditions have never been better. What are you waiting for? #OurDailyBread#Sourdough#BakeFromScratch
Summer is when churches usually slow down. The Showbread never did. Week after week, fresh bread β because community doesn't take a vacation. What's your church doing this summer to keep the table warm? #OurDailyBread#BreadMinistry#ChurchCommunity
Summer heat tip: your dough will overproof in 2 hours what used to take 4.
Either adapt your timing β or lose the loaf.
Here's what summer baking teaches: context matters. What works in winter doesn't always work in June.
Wisdom is knowing the difference. π

Friday question for pastors and church leaders:
If your church had a bread ministry β one night a week, flour and fellowship β what would stop you from starting it?
We've heard every objection. We have answers.

June is the BEST month to start a sourdough starter. Wild yeast is everywhere. Starters activate in 5 days instead of 2 weeks. The Bible's feast calendar wasn't random β it was timed to creation. Your kitchen knows it's summer. Does your church? #OurDailyBread#Sourdough#BakeFromScratch
"What the Bread Taught Me" β June edition:
Summer dough moves fast. I shaped a loaf this morning and it was proofed in 90 minutes instead of 4 hours.
I almost missed it. Almost over-proofed it.
Seasons change. So should your timing. Pay attention.

Real question for pastors and church leaders:
Has your congregation broken real bread together this year β not a communion cracker, but an actual loaf someone baked?
If not β why not?
It doesn't take a program. It takes flour, an oven, and one person who cares.
Is your church ready?

"What the Bread Taught Me" this week:
Summer fermentation moves fast. I almost over-proofed my loaf because I was used to winter timing.
The lesson: Pay attention. What worked in January won't work in June. Growth demands you stay present.
Same goes for faith. Same goes for community. π
