Welcome to Russell Peace Baker. I help home bakers build strong, consistent sourdough systems without waste or guesswork. This channel focuses on understanding fermentation, starter strength, hydration, temperature, flour choice and dough behaviour — so you can bake repeatable loaves every week. You’ll find step-by-step starter guides, weekly baking routines, detailed strong white recipes, inclusion loaves (double chocolate, seasonal flavours), and practical troubleshooting. I break sourdough down clearly so you know what your dough should look and feel like at every stage. Free starter guide, recipes and resources: www.russellpeacebaker.com Subscribe for structured, calm, reliable sourdough baking.
