Synopsis
Do you stare at your sticky lump of dough and wonder where you went wrong?
For many, the dream of baking artisan bread ends in frustration: a starter that refuses to bubble, a loaf that spreads like a pancake, or a dense brick that is impossible to slice. You want the crackling crust and the airy crumb, but the fear of another failure—and the confusion of conflicting internet advice—keeps you from trying again.
