Baking sourdough isn’t hard — but it is honest. Every loaf tells the truth about your starter, your rise, and your patience. And sometimes? It flops.

That’s exactly why I created The Sourdough Troubleshooting Handbook — your no-fluff, quick-grab guide to fixing the most common sourdough problems. Whether your starter smells like nail polish remover, your dough is a sticky mess, or your bread bakes up dense and heavy, this handbook walks you through step-by-step fixes that actually work.

Inside you’ll find:
✔️ A quick-reference troubleshooting chart for instant answers
✔️ Rescue plans for sluggish starters, sticky dough, dense loaves, overproofing & more
✔️ A clear guide to what’s normal vs. what’s not with your starter
✔️ Tips for long-term success, adjusting for the seasons & keeping a baking log
✔️ My answers to the Top 10 most-asked sourdough questions

Think of it as your late-night baking buddy — the one you reach for when you’re ready to cry into your mixing bowl. Instead of wasting dough or tossing your starter, you’ll have the confidence to bring it back to life and keep baking.

Because your next great loaf? It’s only one fix away.

Perfect for beginners and seasoned bakers alike.

Kind words from Julia

Hi Jill. My partner got me your book for Xmas and I just finished it and am about to go back through and take notes and do the writing prompts. Just wanted to thank you for sharing your experience and putting such a lovely book together! I'm in CT and started gardening last year. Keen to get a better handle on it and your book has already been immensely helpful! Just wanted to share my thanks and appreciate. Cheers!
