Whether you're famous for your inclusion combos, or a new parent to a sourdough starter, we can all agree, baking sourdough is an act of love. We asked some of our favorite bread bakers (our own employees!) to share their why.

"I love making sourdough because there’s nothing better than sharing a fresh-baked loaf with family and friends. Fresh bread just makes everyone happy! It definitely takes some time and planning, but the end result is always so worth it." -Chef Shannon

"Mainly because I love to eat freshly baked things. My mom baked from scratch growing up, so my bar for baked things (bread or sweets) is unfortunately high. It's a blessing and a curse!" -Laura, Senior Brand Marketing Manager

If you're a baker, what is your why?

People often assume that if their cast iron skillet gets rusty, it's ruined. We're happy to announce that's just a myth! Even heavily rusted cast iron skillets can be brought back to life with a little TLC. Check out our tips below! ⬇️

*Start with dry cookware and scrub away rust with a rust eraser or steel wool.
* Scrub with soap and rinse with water.
* Dry completely.
* Rub lightly with cooking oil.
* Bake in the oven at 450°F for about an hour.
* Repeat as necessary.

Always wanted to impress with a flambé but not feeling confident in your pyrotechnic skills? According to Chef Kris, this is everything you need to know: Start by heating your booze in a separate heat-proof container to get it warm. Yes, a little booze is required for this technique. Never pour from the bottle (please!). Always pour away from yourself (please!). Turn off the heat completely before you add any alcohol to the pan, and always have a lid handy in case things get real. Use a wand lighter and come at it low. Don't stick your hand in the middle of the cookware, silly. Be confident in your actions. Know there's going to be a flame. With the heat off, it'll dissipate fairly quickly. Double-check that all the alcohol has burned off. Sometimes it's hard to see that your delicacy is still on fire. That's it! Easy, right?

Getting that cheffy flick of the wrist can be hard, but once you muster up enough bravery, you'll be impressing your friends with your flipping skills in no time. Here are our tips for flipping a pancake in a carbon steel skillet like a pro (even a big one!):

1. Don't use too much oil. That can be a hot and scary mess.
2. Bubbles will form on the surface of the pancake when it's ready to flip. Don't try until they show up.
3. Lift the pan and give it a gentle shake to make sure the pancake has released.
4. Commit to the flip! Don't hesitate. Give it a quick up-and-forward motion, then pull back toward you.
5. If the pan is a little heavy, it' ok to use both hands!

(and be careful, please)

Baking sourdough with inclusions can be intimidating, but have no fear! We consulted our resident cast iron baking expert, Chef Shannon, for her tips on leveling up your sourdough with inclusions. In this video we feature a s'mores loaf and a jalapeño cheddar loaf, but feel free to fix and match flavors to your heart's desire! ⬇️

-Inclusions can be added during stretch & folds or during lamination. Shannon finds that it is best to add lighter ingredients during stretch & folds and heavier ingredients, like chocolate chunks, during lamination because the edges might tear the dough during the folds.

-If you are using wet ingredients, like sun-dried tomatoes or olives, make sure to drain them so you don’t add extra moisture to the dough.

-If you are baking bread with anything cheesy or sugary, use a silicone sling or parchment, so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of my bread oven.

BONUS- Don’t over include! A general rule of thumb for inclusions is about 20% of total dough weight

Level up your chocolate cake game with this unexpected ingredient. 👀

Our decadent chocolate cake uses mayo and coffee, which gives it an intense chocolate flavor and moist, fudge-y texture. We used our baker's skillet in this video, but you can also use your favorite 10.25 inch classic cast iron skillet to make this recipe. Let us know if you try it out! Recipe below. ⬇️

Cake ingredients:
2 cups AP flour
1 cup sugar
½ cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup mayonnaise
¾ cup buttermilk
¾ cup hot water with 1 Tablespoon espresso powder dissolved
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Frosting ingredients:
1 stick butter, unsalted & softened
¼ cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar
Pinch of salt
4-6 Tablespoons of milk

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Spray a 10.25 inch skillet with baker’s joy or your favorite cooking oil and spread over the entire cooking surface
3. Heat the ¾ cup of water in the microwave for 30 seconds, then add the 1 Tablespoon espresso powder and stir. If you don't have espresso powder, just use ¾ cup hot coffee instead of the water/espresso mix. Set aside.
4. In a medium mixing bowl, stir flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.
5. In a large bowl or a bowl of a stand mixer, combine the mayo, buttermilk, water + espresso powder (or coffee), and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
6. Next, add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until there are no visible dry lumps. Pour batter into the prepared 10.25” baker’s skillet and bake for 35-40 minutes.
7. Let cool completely before frosting.
8. While the cake is cooling, make the frosting.
9. In a large bowl, combine softened butter, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract and mix until it’s blended.
10. Next, mix the powdered sugar (one cup at a time) and 4 tablespoons of milk until combined. After you add the second cup of powdered sugar, you may need to add more milk to reach your desired frosting consistency. If so, add only 1 tablespoon of milk at a time.
11. Add a pinch of salt and mix a little more.

Spread over the cooled cake and enjoy!
