Quest steps
Bake a simple same-day bread
Bake a straightforward dough and record your baseline process.
Bake with a preferment
Use a preferment such as poolish, biga, sponge or levain and note what changed.
Practise a shaped bake
Show a bake where shaping and surface tension are part of the result.
Show the crumb and final bake
Add enough notes and photos to show the outside, inside and final texture.
Bake a reflection recipe
Repeat or adapt a bake and note what worked better than last time.
Private first, public when ready
Link a draft while you are still learning. Publishing is optional, but public Quest recipes can be shared and count toward Baker levels.
