Bad bake days happen to all of us—yes, even the most seasoned sourdough bakers. In this episode, I’m opening up about what to do when a bake flops, whether it’s burned loaves, flat cookies, or an entire batch of focaccia tossed in the trash (been there!). I’m walking you through how I process those days, reframe my mindset, and figure out whether it was something in my control—or totally out of it. Because one bad day doesn’t define you, and it definitely doesn’t erase all the wins you’ve had along the way.
I’m also sharing practical tools to help you move forward after things go sideways—how to troubleshoot, what questions to ask yourself, how to shift out of discouragement, and even how to prevent repeat mistakes in the future. This episode is for the baker who’s ever questioned if they’re really cut out for this (spoiler: you are). My hope is that you walk away with more confidence, more clarity, and a toolkit to carry you through the tough moments that come with running a sourdough microbakery.
