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!
