Being a home baker is such an important part of my life. I even chose it as one of my key features to introduce myself. I love making sourdough bread and perfecting its flavors and techniques. What does this have to do with Ireland?

My journey started out of necessity. When I first came to Ireland, I didn’t find a great variety of bread. Whilst I devour Irish brown and soda bread, as a German I missed my sourdoughs and healthy rye breads. Once I committed to becoming a home baker, I was completely hooked.

As a stay-at-home mom, I have come to appreciate experimenting with recipes in both cooking and baking. Providing healthy, homemade food is part of my daily routine. I finally mastered sourdough in 2020. My kids might not be as excited about the process as I am. However, they surely appreciate a freshly cut loaf in their lunch boxes and the mouth-watering smell all over the house.
