Get the essential sourdough bread baking techniques every kitchen needs with step-by-step video tutorials in my course, Sourdough Mastery for the Home Baker.
Melissa, You Are Awesome!!!! Have unsuccessfully tried sourdough before and I didn't believe I could do it. The previous failure had intimidated me. You were the missing ingredient!! Thank you!
— Krystal
If it wasn’t for Melissa K Norris, I wouldn’t have attempted sourdough. I just started a little over a year ago based on her recipes in her book Hand Made. Thanks Melissa. I’ve come a long way since I’ve found your books.
— Rusty
My first time at making homemade bread. My family gives them a thumbs up and both are almost already all gone!

I'm a wife, mom and homesteader, but I'm also an author and a blogger, a product-creator and a small business owner with a demanding full-time job.
During the week (who are we kidding, all the days) life is busy, from work, livestock, running kids back and forth to turnout, keeping up with the laundry, let's just say ain't no one doing very much sitting around except maybe the dog.
I don't have time for recipes that don't turn out or to rebake a loaf of bread because it fell or didn't rise all the way and no one wants the dense as a rock sunken top loaf, can I get an amen?
But preservatives, GMO's, and hydrogenated oils aren't something I want my family eating from store bought baked goods and bread either. I found a way to make bread, biscuits, and pie crusts turn out perfectly every time, even when I'm busy.
It's all in my course Sourdough Mastery for the Home Baker!

My very first sourdough loaf!! I'm so over the moon right now!! I can not thank you enough, Melissa! Your videos are so wonderful and thoughtfully crafted. I would not have been brave enough to try this before now, regardless of my longing for years to do it.

I show you how to make a gluten-free loaf in the course.
For those who are only sensitive to gluten, many find using ancient grain Einkorn, especially when combined with the traditionally cultured sourdough, makes it possible to enjoy baked goods and bread again.
YES! Many of my members and customers work full time jobs and then some. Most of the baking takes very little actual hands on time, it's just mixing up the dough, letting it rise for yeast and sourdough breads, while the brownies take mere minutes and bake time!
For bread, I recommend baking and then freezing, it doesn't become soggy, I promise!
