New baking framework The Bread Code enhances sourdough skills through science and community

A new baking framework called "The Bread Code" is helping people learn sourdough baking. Created by engineer Hendrik Kleinwächter, it emphasizes understanding the science behind bread-making rather than just following recipes. This approach has led to better results for many home bakers. The Bread Code includes an open-source book, "The Sourdough Framework," which features detailed explanations, flowcharts, and troubleshooting tips. It encourages bakers to analyze their processes and learn from mistakes, fostering a deeper connection to the craft of baking. Kleinwächter has shifted focus from quick YouTube videos to building a community around The Bread Code. His project has gained traction, with a successful Kickstarter campaign and an active Discord group, allowing bakers to share experiences and improve their skills together.
