Crust & Crumb Academy is a free bread baking community built for home bakers who want real results without the gatekeeping. Learn sourdough and yeasted bread through structured courses, tested recipes, and direct feedback from Henry Hunter, a working baker with 26 years of marketing experience, author of "Sourdough for the Rest of Us" and "From Oven to Market," and founder of the 50,000+ member Facebook group Baking Great Bread at Home. What you get: → Step-by-step courses on sourdough, shaping, scoring, and fermentation → 28+ tested recipes in our Recipe Pantry → A glossary with 130+ baking terms explained → A small enough community that your questions actually get answered No fluff. No intimidation. No cost. Just bakers helping bakers get better. Perfection is not required. Progress is.

Most sourdough advice is just "vibes." We turned it into a science. At the Sourdough Improvement Skool (SIS), we replace guesswork with the BreadScore™ system. Whether troubleshooting a starter as a beginner or refining a signature loaf, we bridge the gap between luck and mastery. HOW IT WORKS: Our proprietary visual analysis system takes photos of your bake and delivers an objective score with a detailed breakdown. No more wondering "what went wrong"—you’ll have a data-backed road map to a better crumb. The SIS Transformation Framework: BAKE: Use your favorite recipe. ANALYZE: Get your BreadScore™ and expert feedback. ADJUST: Make informed tweaks with community support.. REPEAT: Follow this 4-bake cycle and watch your "bread intuition" skyrocket. By your 4th loaf, you won't just be baking; you'll be mastering.
