Crust & Crumb Academy Reviews

This is a very friendly, growing, supportive community of bakers who love to learn to bake great bread in all it's forms. We are all in the academy to learn and and support each other while we share our success and our failures as well.

There are so many things about this academy that make it successful. First is Henry Hunter who's dream is to share his knowledge of baking bread with those enthusiastic about learning through success as well as...well sometimes learning through failure. The academy offers so many educational opportunities through its videos and classes that are open to all who want to participate and...they are all free. They are not only full of information but also include how-to videos and many practical tips to make our bakes successful. Each week there is an opportunity to bake together. Henry provides a recipe for those who bake with commercial yeast as well as for those who bake with sourdough starter. The community logs on and we all bake together, sharing pictures and comments that encourage and support each other....even our failed bakes. All weeks have teaching incentives towards the next week's bake so that we all can progress in our learning while Henry monitors and is available to answer any questions. In addition, there is a large recipe pantry available that walks anyone through each step of the baking process for each recipe, including "Krusty". Click on the icon and you can literally ask any question throughout the process and get your question answered in real time. What could be better? There are both experienced as well as new bread bakers in the group and many have become friends along the way. If you are interested in learning how, or just love baking bread, this is the absolute best group to join. I know that I am a much better bread baker because of this group.

I am so glad I was invited into the Crust & Crumb Academy. This community is amazing. I felt at home as soon as I walked through the door. It’s like a big, supportive family. Henry, the content creator is so knowledgeable and attentive. The community includes beginners all the way to very experienced home bakers. The best part is when we all come together for our Saturday bake off. We follow the same recipe but add our own personal twists if desired. A live thread runs throughout the day where we can ask questions, troubleshoot, share encouragement, successes and failures. It such a rewarding day! I have learned so much in barely a month of joining.Never had I imagined such a thing even existed but I’m so glad to be a part of this great big family of learning bakers!

The experience is like having one a one on one education with community backup. Lectures, Demonstrations, Explanations, Bake along. Imperial and Metric measurements welcome.

Henry Hunter is the owner of Crust & Crumb Academy, where he has a wonderful community, he is willing to share and guide you on various ways to bake bread, pastries. A friendly community where everyone inspires each other to bake.

I've enjoyed the weekly bake-alongs. The admin is really helpful and the bakers Iin the group are inspiring.

I recommend this site to anyone beginning or proven baker to use this site. There is so much support to answer any questions you may have. Problem solving with lots of images to follow and a lead baker-Henry who wants you to succeed and encourages you along, whether there is lots of room for improvement and many opportunities to succeed and to not give up. I haven’t been a member long but I am enjoying it immensely.

This is one of my favorite communities and I’m a true novice when it comes to bread baking. Members are helpful and supportive and Chef is fantastic. He answers questions, provides great videos, and even hosts live in person by camera baking sessions.

What I like best about Crust and Crumb Academy is the willingness of our Professional Baking Coach who guides us each step of the way. Henry Hunter has a real gift of being able to break down the Science of Baking. I have completed 3 projects each one turned out delicious. These courses are so practical for everyone. The lessons taught so that novices like myself can understand and feel like an expert baker. Henry Hunter will also take the time to ask where we are with the recipes. This helps me a great deal. I’m impressed with Crust and Crumb Academy and look forward to many satisfying recipes shared and made with the support of our community. ♥️

I'm so glad I was pointed toward this community. I belong to a bunch of pages regarding sourdough, but I have never posted my bread up there because well... if it's not perfect they usually rip you a new one. I'm not into that. We learn and grow by bringing each other up, not down. Hats off to you @Henry Hunter you have created an amazing community here where all are welcome and learn from each other. I got immersed right away and I was not afraid to post what I thought was not a great bake for Saturday! Looking forward to all this community has to offer!

Being in this group has taught me new ways in making great bread. The people are friendly, take time to answer questions, have bake alongs, also have a classroom where you can watch the videos on your time. All of the people in the group are supportive, no nasty remarks here. We cheer each other on!

What a great community to join and expand skills for my new hobby! Henry is a fantastic supporter and has some really easy tools to help get you started or try new options if bread making is not new. No judgement in this group - just support and encouragement!

The Crust & Crumb Academy is a great resource for bread bakers. Sharing recipes, ideas, tips, tricks and encouragement brings everyone together for the common good. I'm happy to be a part of the group and what it has to offer.

Crust and Crumb has been what I have been looking for to help my journey from amateur baker to, maybe, expert. There is a wealth of knowledge available and real support from real bakers. I am very excited to get stuck in with new techniques and genuine feedback to help my baking skills develop.

Crust and Crumb Academy offers just what bakers at all levels of experience need: a supportive community, top-notch resources, dependable advice, and the encouragement needed to push one's self to be learn and improve. What a find!

Henry has created an amazing bread baking community. Here you’ll find loads of helpful information, tools and advice. Check it out!

Everybody has something new to learn! This site offers recipes along with helpful information to level up every baker’s skills. Supportive community to look to for affirmation, help or guidance.

I would 100% recommend this group. HH is an excellent teacher and helps with any problems with your dough. The people in the group are supportive and helpful too. If bread is your focus, and you are looking to improve your skill set, this is where you want to be!

Since I join the community, I improve my baking skills. Learning from the generous bakers in the group is awesome. I’s a nice community, people here ready to help and support each other especially the former of the community. I ‘m happy here.

Within a week of joining Crust & Crumb Academy, I have new knowledge and insight about making bread. The information available can literally take the guesswork out bread making. Detailed courses clearly explain terminology, the chemistry involved in the entire process, variables to consider, how to correct mishaps along the way and so much more material is being added daily. It’s organized very well, so it’s easy to navigate to the materiel you’re looking for.

I highly recommend this program for bakers of any experience level. Even an expert baker can benefit from the collaborative nature of Crust & Crumb Academy. Helping fellow bakers through obstacles strengthens our own knowledge and opens the path to an even deeper understanding.

Henry Hunter has proven to be a supportive and knowledgeable facilitator with a passion for baking. His selfless goal is clear to me; he wants us all to be able to make great bread, or really anything we want to.

Crust & Crumb Academy is the absolute best place for those who are serious about sourdough. It's an ongoing classroom to learn, grow, support others growth, encourage one another when the best crumb didn't happen, offers real time honest critique and gives an opportunity to understand the science behind every bake. The Academy affords every member, no matter your baking experience, a space to confidently ask questions and get answers promptly. Crust & Crumb Academy is a real community composed of people from all over and from every walk of life who have come together with one unified goal, to be better sourdough bakers. Perfection is not required, progress is.

While in its infancy, Crust and Crumb Academy has assembled some really great tools, recipes, lessons, and a wonderful group of fellow bakers from novice to expert. Each update brings new value to the time investment I put in to learn. Have already expanded my confidence and skills, and I welcome any baker of any level to join in the journey!
