What students Have to say

{

“I had always wanted to try my hand at sourdough but I was super intimidated by the process. Hope is not only the sourdough queen but also an amazing teacher. Her class was so clear and easy to follow, and I left feeling totally equipped and confident to begin my sourdough journey. I’m so glad I decided to take her class instead of just winging it on my own. She totally demystified sourdough for me and I’ve had so much success with following her recipe and step by step guide!”

“I always thought sourdough was so complicated and I could never get clear answers. Hope lays everything out simply and explains it all so well. I feel much more confident and can’t wait to bake more loaves! I highly recommend her class!”

Hey, I’m Hope

A Colorado native, living in North Texas!

Shortly after moving to Texas, away from our family, my husband and I welcomed our son, Oakland. The postpartum season was a huge challenge for me! When Oakland was a couple months old, I decided to try my hand at homemade sourdough. Little did I know, it would turn into a creative outlet I didn’t know I needed. My new hobby helped me ‘get back to me’.

Overwhelmed with the many methods for sourdough, it took me nearly a year to make a loaf that was both, delicious and beautiful! A desire to teach others a simplified process welled up and I created my business, Bread by Hope! I pray the art of sourdough finds you in a season to help you get back to ‘you’.
