Editorial & baking

Every recipe and guide on Proof & Crumb is written from first-hand home-kitchen testing. Results vary with your flour, climate, starter and oven. Follow food-safety basics (especially with raw dough) and use your judgement — we are not responsible for a loaf that doesn’t rise or a bake that goes sideways.

Health & nutrition

Pages that discuss nutrition, gluten, calories or digestion (such as the sourdough nutrition guide) are for general education only. They are not medical, dietary or nutritional advice, and the figures given are estimates that change with flour, hydration and inclusions. If you have celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, diabetes or another condition, follow your clinician’s guidance — standard sourdough is not gluten-free.

Affiliate links

Some gear pages may contain affiliate links. We only recommend equipment we have bought and used, we never take payment for placement, and any commission comes at no extra cost to you. See the privacy policy for how that works.
