About Slow Rise Society

Welcome to Slow Rise Society! A blog dedicated to the artisanal craft of bread baking. My hope is to share my journey and experiences to help guide those who are new or getting back into this craft.

During winter break, my fiancée and I decided one weekend to give baking bread a try. What was once a fun date night idea has now turned into a new passion of mine. After we baked our first loaf, I became obsessed with this new hobby! Unlike many of my other hobbies that I start, I’ve stuck with baking bread.

Long ago, I was into brewing craft beer in my home, but, I gave up drinking for a while and stopped brewing. One thing that I loved about brewing beer was the process. Taking grains and transforming them into something new and tasty. It was like a fun science experiment that took up my weekends. I never found a hobby that scratched that itch, until now.

Baking homemade artisanal bread is such an involved process. There are as many variables in baking bread as brewing beer. Documenting each loaf of bread that I bake informs me of what variables to change next time. If you’re like me, you’ll fall in love with the process of baking bread. The scent, textures, aromas, and the process is what I love the most. And if I get a tasty loaf at the end of it, that’s a bonus!

My goal for this blog is to provide insights into my journey as a beginner bread craftsman. I’ll share tips and how-to articles as well as recipes that I used to get going. I look forward to interacting with my readers. You can get in touch with me on Instagram.

Cheers!
