Overall, I think that this Genius Hour project was successful. I improved a lot, and learned a new skill.

Something I would have done differently is when I contacted my expert. I contacted them pretty early on in the project, before I even started making actual loaves of sourdough. Because of this, I didn’t really know which things I would struggle with the most, or really what kind of advice would be most helpful. They were still helpful though.

Another thing I would have done is expiremented with the rising times of the bread, to see how that would affect the texture and flavor of the bread.

Even though I don’t actually like sourdough bread, I enjoyed learning more about baking and the science behind it.
