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!

I love this group. Henry is always available to pose questions, offer tips for baking and teaching new skills and tips. The community is interactive which makes it nice to show up because there is feedback for your bakes, cheers for your successes and just all around great people. For every level I think. I'm self-taught gluten-free baking and I feel there is so much for me to learn here. Thank you Henry!

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

This community is amazing. It has helped me so much with my sourdough skills and new ones too. The Saturday bake along are so much fun because it's not like a recipe out the book and if you get stuck you have to figure it out by yourself... No you have a whole community there to help. I feel right at home and I'm loving every minute

I am a novice bread baker. Henry has been so responsive in answering my questions. His post are so informative and his group information is easy to use. I have recommended this group to several friends. I look forward to improving my skills with Henry's and the member's help.

It's a great outlet for those needing that guidance, but also high quality interaction to improve your baking skills. I would highly recommend!

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. ♥️

Mr Henry, is an excellent baker, he is very knowledgeable and has books, on how to make bread and various baked goods, he is very versatile and has a strong community of bakers, this is a group you definitely want to join.

This course and group have helped me achieve so much with my bread baking skills. I would get impatient when I would make bread and didn't trust the process. With Henry's instructions and telling myself to stick to the process I have found I can make great bread at home. I highly recommend this group because it has something for everyone.

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!

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!

This community is a breath of fresh air. Henry is so obviously an expert in what he does, and the group is filled with so many resources and tools, it's all you could ever want. This is the group you always wished you had but couldn't find.

This site has been instrumental in learning and sharing information about yeast and sourdough baking but, more importantly, being able to ask questions of experts and get feedback on your bakes. Absolutely, hands down, reading and learning has improved my bakes.

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.

Henry Hunter is a proven professional baker with a vast amount of practical knowledge to share. His approach is personal and connects with students in a way that other courses do not. If you want to learn how to make bread and not be intimidated, Crust & Crumb Academy is the place for you!

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!

I joined this community as soon as Henry started it because I believed in the mission and I was not disappointed. If you’ve ever been in a Facebook group where you’re looking for that solid community with kind but constructive criticism, and you feel like you’re just not getting it, this group is for you. I’ve been able to help people who are at different experience levels than me while simultaneously I’ve been able to get help from people at higher experience levels than me. In a short time we’ve all gotten to know each other and enjoy learning from each other and through each other‘s experiences. In addition to the community, there is a ton of education all in one spot. If you ever need to know the wire or how behind any method or recipe you will find it here. I highly recommend joining if you’re looking to be in a community full of bakers who want to do their absolute best.

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.
