Russell Peace is a home baker who spent years experimenting with sourdough in his own kitchen, learning through trial, error, and close attention to what actually works. Rather than treat baking as a fixed set of steps to copy, he became interested in the reasoning behind each stage of the process, from building a starter to reading fermentation timing.

That focus on understanding, not just following instructions, led him to start sharing his approach with other home bakers through guides, videos, and an active online community. His free resources have been downloaded more than 32,000 times, and roughly 20,000 bakers now follow his emails for straightforward, no-hype guidance. Russell keeps his teaching practical and grounded in real home-kitchen conditions, helping bakers build confidence one loaf at a time.
