Why Sourdough Baking Is About to Be Your Favorite Summer Activity

Why Sourdough Baking Is About to Be Your Favorite Summer Activity

Slower days, homemade bread, and everything you need — all in one place

There’s something so satisfying about baking bread from scratch — the texture of the dough, the smell in the kitchen, the golden crust just out of the oven. And if you’ve ever thought sourdough was too complicated or time-consuming to master… think again.

This summer, sourdough is having its moment, and it might just become your new favorite ritual — simple, rewarding, and surprisingly fun to learn (especially with the right tools and support).

Here’s why now is the perfect time to give it a try — and how Mulberry Market Co. makes it easier than ever to get started:


🍞 You’ll actually want to slow down

Summer is made for long mornings, cozy kitchen moments, and doing things a little more intentionally. Sourdough fits right in. It gives you a reason to pause, check in, and get hands-on in the best way.
