🍪 Okay Stipe Bread Co. friends… I need your opinion!

When you’re buying a GOOD homemade chocolate chip cookie, which one are you reaching for?

A. 🍪 Thick Bakery Style
Big, thick, loaded with chocolate, slightly crisp on the outside and soft in the middle.

B. 🤎 Large Soft & Gooey
That classic homemade cookie… big, soft, chewy and gooey with plenty of chocolate in every bite.

I’m working on a few things behind the scenes at Stipe Bread Co. and I need to know what y’all actually want. 👀

👇 A or B? Tell me in the comments!

And if your answer is “both”… I respect that too. 😂

Let’s talk SCORING… and why this loaf busted. 🔪🍞

Not every loaf comes out picture perfect, and this one is actually a great example of why scoring matters.

See where this loaf busted open instead of expanding neatly through my score?

When sourdough hits a hot oven, it expands FAST. A good score creates an intentional weak point that gives all of that pressure somewhere to go.

If your score is too shallow, isn’t positioned well, or the dough has developed a skin that makes it harder to cut cleanly, the loaf may create its own escape route.

And that’s exactly what happened here.

It still tastes just as good, but aesthetically? She got a little wild. 😂

A good score should help control the oven spring and allow the loaf to open where you intended instead of busting wherever it pleases.

This is also why I tell my classes: don’t be scared of the blade. Make one clean, confident cut and commit to it.

Perfect loaf? Nope.

Perfect teaching loaf? Absolutely. 🍞

And honestly, I LOVE showing things like this because learning sourdough isn’t about producing an Instagram-perfect loaf every single time. It’s about learning to look at your bread and understand why it did what it did.

One thing I use constantly in my kitchen that doesn’t get talked about enough… a good bench scraper 👏🏻

If you bake sourdough, fresh milled breads, cookies, pizza dough, or honestly cook much at all, this little tool earns its keep DAILY.

I use mine for:
• Dividing dough
• Cleaning flour off counters fast
• Scooping chopped ingredients
• Moving sticky dough without making a mess
• Keeping my workspace clean during classes

It’s one of those “I didn’t know I needed this until I had it” kitchen tools 🤍

I linked the one I use most in the comments because several class students have asked about it lately!

One kitchen item I use almost daily that I don’t think gets talked about enough…

Silicone proofing baskets. 🙌🏼

I still love traditional bannetons, but these have become one of my favorite tools for everyday baking because:
• they’re easy to clean
• dough releases beautifully
• no mold worries
• dishwasher safe
• perfect for beginners learning sourdough

If you’ve ever struggled with sticky dough or cleaning flour out of baskets, these are worth trying.

Honestly one of those little kitchen swaps that just makes baking easier.

Do y’all prefer traditional bannetons or silicone proofing baskets?
