Welcome to Bakers & Best!  If you’re a fellow baker (and eater) of great bread I hope you’ll find what you’re looking for here, whether that is recipes, pictures, or tips.  I post breads, meals, and musings on other subjects, mostly Michigan related.  Hopefully you’ll see just like I did four years ago that making great bread yourself at home can be easy and a lot of fun!

For the amateur photoshopper in all of us, check out my Photoshop Phriday posts, where I’m slowly reimagining Michigan football history one week at a time.

My junior year in college was the first time I had to fend for myself in a kitchen, and by senior year I was spending weekends making bagels, baguettes, and pizza.  I liked the idea of knowing exactly what was going into my food and baking thus far has been the best application I’ve found for all those chemistry classes I took in college.

I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2011, work on campus, and despite having a kitchen the size of most people’s bathroom, I am determined to keep baking delicious bread week after week!  And that’s the Michigan Difference.

Thanks for visiting Bakers & Best!
