Dawn McNaught

Artist, Author, Baker Problem-Solver

Food educator focused on process-driven sourdough, creative cooking & art. I have a lot of passions and the "dog-with-a-bone" energy to see them through. With a former career in professional baking and a background in graphics, marketing & communications, I’m working at simplifying the science of bread, while still being creative & telling stories. 

I don't just share recipes; I teach you how to problem solve your specific environment. I am using visual tools to help navigate everything from sluggish levain and  tunnelling batards in Canada to those overactive doughs and overproofed loaves we are all perplexed about. 
 
Based in Peterborough, Ontario. Not part of a heritage farm & focused on straight talk not or confusing technical talk.  

It’s just practical sourdough techniques and real-world intuition for people who just want bread that works. Plus there are cats…art…some creative ideas. 

I promise not to sing and I don’t post on a schedule.
