Everything you need to go from nervous beginner to confident sourdough baker.

A physical copy of our Sourdough 101. A comprehensive, approachable guide to the timeless art of sourdough baking. Written by Alyssa, founder of Better Basics Milling, this book cuts through the noise and gives you clear, honest instruction without the overwhelm. Easy to follow, beautifully laid out, and designed for bakers of every skill level.

Most sourdough advice online is either too complicated or leaves out the parts that actually matter. This book does not. It starts where you are and walks you through everything, from activating your starter to pulling your first loaf out of the oven.

Why this book is different

Alyssa wrote this guide to go alongside the flour she mills. It is built around the understanding that sourdough baking is only as good as the ingredients you start with. The book explains why fresh, stone milled flour makes a real difference, and gives you the knowledge to understand what you are baking, not just follow instructions blindly.

Written for use with Better Basics fresh milled flours and adaptable for any quality bread flour. Whether you are brand new to sourdough or tired of complicated advice that never quite works, Sourdough 101 gives you the clarity and confidence to bake real, nourishing bread your family will love.
