Starter. Flour. Water. Salt. 🖤

Four simple ingredients. Nothing fancy. Nothing complicated.

And somehow, with a little time, patience, and a living sourdough starter, they become something pretty incredible.

That’s what I love about sourdough. It’s slow food in a fast world. It asks you to pay attention, trust the process, and give it the one ingredient you can’t rush: time.

Whether you’re baking your very first loaf or your five-hundredth, it always starts in the same place.

Scoring sourdough isn’t just about making your loaf look pretty. That cut you make right before your dough goes into the oven actually has an important job.

As sourdough hits the heat, gases trapped inside the dough rapidly expand—creating that beautiful oven spring we’re all chasing. Scoring gives your loaf a controlled place to open up as it expands.

A good score can help:
• Direct the expansion of your loaf
• Encourage better oven spring
• Prevent random blowouts and tearing
• Create that beautiful sourdough “ear”
• Turn your loaf into something uniquely yours

Your main expansion score should be deeper than decorative scoring. Decorative cuts are generally shallow, while your primary score needs enough depth to create a deliberate weak point where the loaf can expand.

And remember—a beautiful score starts with more than a blade. A strong, active starter, proper fermentation, good shaping and surface tension all play a role in how that loaf opens in the oven.

Scoring is part science, part technique, and part art.

Peace. Love. Sourdough.

There’s something about sourdough that makes you slow down.

Flour. Water. Salt. A little patience. And somehow, those simple things become something pretty incredible.

Maybe it’s the ritual of feeding your starter. Maybe it’s getting your hands into the dough. Maybe it’s that moment you lift the lid and see that beautiful loaf staring back at you.

Or maybe we’re all just a little obsessed with bread.

Whatever brought you to sourdough, we’re glad you’re here. Here’s to slower food, messy counters, happy starters and one more loaf than we actually needed to bake.

Peace. Love. Sourdough.

❄️ Freeze your sourdough? Absolutely.

It might sound strange, but your freezer may actually make your sourdough even better for you. When sourdough is cooled and frozen, some of the starch undergoes a process called retrogradation, forming what's known as resistant starch.

Resistant starch behaves more like fiber than traditional starch. It's digested more slowly, which may help reduce the bread's glycemic index impact and result in a smaller blood sugar spike.

And here's the best part: sourdough already has advantages of its own.

The long fermentation process produces organic acids that naturally slow digestion compared with many commercially produced breads.

So if you slice your loaf, freeze it, thaw it, and pop it into the toaster, you may be adding another layer of benefits to a bread that's already doing a lot of things right.

Same sourdough. Different response. 🍞❄️

There’s something special about using tools that have been made specifically for the craft.

Our wood pulp brotforms are made traditionally in Germany and designed specifically for proofing bread. Unlike traditional rattan baskets, the solid wood-pulp construction helps support your dough as it proofs while absorbing excess surface moisture — helping create that beautiful skin that makes scoring easier and gives your loaf a gorgeous crust.

Branded with the Summit Sourdough mountains because if your bread is going to spend hours tucked inside something, it might as well be beautiful.

Made in Germany.
Made for bread.
Made to proof loaf after loaf.

One of those sourdough tools you buy once and reach for constantly.
