In the time of quarantine and social distancing, the world has become obsessed with sourdough. With this revival in mind, we reached out to Bryan Ford, the sourdough genius behind the new cookbook New World Sourdough. Bryan describes his baking style as having Honduran roots blended with a New Orleans upbringing, bringing a sourdough spin to South American classics like pan de coco and semitas de yema. In addition, we’re covering his endeavors to donate 5% of his book earnings to charities and the recent success of Bakers Against Racism global bake sale. 

A special thank-you to our sponsor, Red Star, our official test kitchen partner and trusted source for all things yeast. Check out their products.
