My Story

My name is Nick, an amateur bread baker living in Pennsylvania. I have been making bread since my neighbor in grad school showed me that you could make great bread at home and have fun doing it. Since then I've been hooked and am always looking for ways to improve my baking. Find out more about me and let's get baking together!
