This morning’s bake for my main squeeze’s birthday! 💕 Sourdough English muffins fresh out of the oven = nothing better. Add some Polyface eggs and meats (WHICH WE DID 👊), and you’ve got a real dream-come-true-on-a-plate.

*******
Baker details: The dough fermented for 8 hrs at room temp and 9 hours in the fridge, was shaped cold, which is the easiest way to manage this sticky dough, and rose a second time in barely warm oven for 2 more hours. Happy to send you the recipe!

Also, I do have English muffin rings but never use said English muffin rings and, thus, always get English muffins that live up to my lil sourdough business’s name 🤪 But we all know the taste makes up for any shaping mishap. 🙌

Great news, y’all!! There’s a new sourdough class option in Isle of Wight 🙌🎉 My friend Tiffany is offering classes in her home, and she’s GREAT. Tiffany came to several classes before I moved out of the area to nail down the process, and she’s now up and running. Give her a follow and tell your friends!

Hi! I'm Tiffany Walker and I'm starting a new journey. I took my first sourdough class April 2025 and a sourdough inclusions class May 2026. I learned the craft from one of the best - Mrs. Sally Acker at Lopsided Loaf!

With over a year of trials and triumphs in baking sourdough creations, I'm ready to share what I know.

Please join me in my first Sourdough Basics Class or if your interested in hosting your own class, please send me a message.

I'm excited to share the art of baking sourdough with you!

Comment below and I'll send you a message to sign up.

Well hello, strangers 👋 It’s been a minute! With all the moving out and moving in we’ve been doing, my starter was in a refrigerator coma for almost 2 months 😅 I revived it last week, and voilà! Just loooook at those blisters 🤩

I also wanted to share a pic of one of my new neighbors since all y’all who’ve attended my class understand my high regard for cows and their multi-chamber stomachs 😍😂

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN BAKING, FRIENDS?!

ATTN NON-NUDISTS: If you've made the switch from white, store-bought bread to homemade sourdough, you're likely by now in need of some clothes being taken in 😜 Okay but seriously, whatever your alteration needs, my sweet friend Rachel is an INCREDIBLE seamstress (you should see the clothes she makes her kids!) and does mending and alterations out of her home 🙌 Follow her page Custom Stitch Studio and give her a call -- she's incredibly talented, passionate, and just the kind of business we all love to support ✨

Mending and alterations to fit your needs!
I take bridal and formal wear, adult and children’s clothing. Contact me to schedule your free consultation!

And that’s a wrap 🥲 It has been such a joy to host so many of you in my home for sourdough classes over the past 2 1/2 years! Tonight’s Level II class was a darn good time and a darn good note to end on 💗

I’ll still be posting recipes, successes, and funny mishaps here from time to time, so don’t go anywhere unless you’re a Scrooge 😉

I have made these incredibly delicious, long-fermented banana muffins for my family approx 1,472 times, and they come out perfect every time. I make them ONCE for my Basics class yesterday, and they come out like THIS 🫠🫠🤪

At least they tasted good!

(I just overmixed, y’all, so if you want the recipe, lmk and don’t get distracted with other tasks while it’s in the KitchenAid!)

🎉🎉UPDATE: Level II is FULL🎉🎉
If you haven't tried this sourdough thing yet or need a refresher, there are still open seats in the Basics Class! 💛

🎉 MAY is the GRAND FINALE! 🎉

My time teaching sourdough classes in Hampton Roads is coming to an end this summer, as my family heads off for new adventures in a new town. So that means, ahem, THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE to have the Lopsided Loaf experience!! Which is like an above-average baking class + shenanigans 😏

Let's fill the seats!

Last day to sign up! 🎉

Hey there, strangers! March has been full of private classes and snow-day-make-up classes and kid soccer games, so it feels like forever since I've posted an upcoming class date. THAT SAID...

Come sip some w**e and work some dough with me next month at a special ✨Friday Evening Edition of the Basics Class✨
