Jack, you are appreciated and LOVED by hundreds of thousands of strangers all around the world! You are the gift to all of us! You give us your kind humanity, your humor, your compassion, your wonderfully pleasing generosity of spirit and personality, and all your skill teaching us how to make bread! I am so grateful! I enjoy all your content and look forward to whatever you want to put on this channel, whenever you have time for it. ❤

Came for COVID sourdough. Stayed for the man. Love from Australia.

Ending something is not the same as quitting; it’s not the same as failing. What you’ve accomplished and the joy you’ve brought so many home bakers are not diminished by this ending! Thank you. Best of luck ❤

Hi Jack, I never leave comments but this I think is important. I'm a 71 year young, retired RN, from California. At the start of the pandemic I saw massive hoarding, flour, yeast, topped the list. I NEVER BAKED BREAD, I knew a little about "fermented" yeast. I turned to KZfaq and found your channel. You were and are a delight. I make beautiful sourdough bread because of your channel and charm. If you're allowed to replay those earlier shows new viewers would find them helpful. Best wishes from a forever fan. ❤

Hi Jack, I'm a 73 year old guy and thanks to you I bake almost every day of the week, your tuition has been brilliant, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

jack, I hope you read this. your videos helped save my life by giving me a passion when I needed it more than anything else. in my darkest moments this past two months, I've gone on a journey with you in baking bread and finding joy in the little things in life. thank you for your videos, and thank you for the inspiration and no nonsense discussions and helping me understand baking. good for you for re igniting your passion and doing what's right for you.

Hi Jack, Just a little something to keep in the back of your mind... Thanks to YOU I regularly turn out beautiful, airy, 100% home milled wheat sourdough sandwich bread every week. My family and friends are truly in awe of my bread and I could not have done it without your efforts to share your knowledge with all of us strangers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Please know that you are appreciated more than you could know! Take care and all the best from California 🧡

Hi Jack, I am a 64 year old electrician from SOUTH AFRICA and never backed in my life. Your videos taught me how to work with dough and bake.Thank You

Jack, I am old enough to be your grandmother. Probably. Anyway, I’m so proud of you for being able to change direction and keep going. I pray your life will continue to provide you with joy, hope and good friends. You deserve all of those things. Please accept a grandmotherly hug from my kitchen in Texas. May God bless you always.

Because of you, I've a little microbakery in NYC. It helps me pay my bills and make ends meet. It's my side hustle but without your help I'd never have made great products to sell. Cheers! Thank you.

Bake with Jack is one of the KZfaq channels I switch on religiously. Your philosophy of baking , your approach to bakers who have not yet acquired the confidence they need to understand how forgiving bread making really is; your approach to folk who are unsure whether their approaches to baking bread is right or wrong, makes your videos so good. And here's the thing: psychologists discovered decades ago that when one gets paid for doing what you enjoy, most if not all the pleasure and enjoyment from that activity goes out the door. Sounds to me that ending the limited liability company may give you back the joy you got from your craft.

We decided to ditch shop-bought bread. We now bake a loaf every other day, and it was you, Jack, and your videos and book that made it easy for us. Thank you!

Let me say that there is a lot of channels and books and other media out there on every subject under the sun. What I always liked about this channel, is you, the human part of it. Your wit and the way you do and say things. I hope you come to a place where you feel your worth online and I sure hope you feel it in your life outside of the online stuff.

Jack! Do what you must! I’ve been freeloading along since near the beginning of the KZfaq channel. You brought back to life my interest in baking and cured the problem I ran into with sourdough. I suggested you write a book. You wrote it. I bought it. I can’t rationalize involvement in the club…very old guy, limited income….but wish you and its members the best. There’s a wealth of material in your video back catalog, assuming you leave them up. And the cheeky chap producing everything via his phone in his home kitchen remains the golden era of the series. Hate to see you join the exodus of more and more long-time KZfaq types who feel they’ve worn it out (or it’s worn them out), but it is a logical development. Evolve or die. Better that you evolve. That is you, personally, Jack. You’re a gem. Thank you.

Best wishes Jack. Hope you feel cheerful and inspired again, and not so stressed.

Your shorts are the best! You should be signed for a TV series. Your personality is unique and you are quite good to look at! Wishing you the grand success you deserve.

I've been making sourdough bread for nearly 25 years. a few years ago I stumbled on your videos, Jack Sturgess, and you have changed everything! My sourdough bread has been much more beautiful, delicious and easier to make. Your book is wonderful and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Best wishes in all future endeavors and I will watch to see what happens with you.

Life is short, Jack…and if you’re doing something you aren’t passionate about, life can seem loooooooooong. You’ve helped me so much. I’m grateful and wish you only the best!

Jack, I’m listening, and because of you I bake bread to this day, yes Covid did change all of us didn’t it❤

Jack! Hang in there, dude. Not only have you taught me THE PRINCIPLES of bread-baking, but I think you just taught me an important life lesson: It's OK to keep trying to do the right thing - even if you aren't sure you know what you're doing. The important thing is to TRY. (And write it down, of course.) I LOVE that! I'm going through the same thing with my business (which is why I'm watching BWJ in the middle of my business day in California!). I think you just re-adjusted my head. Thank you! You have helped me tremendously over the years. Your joy has been contagious (and hilarious) and I hope you can find more and keep spreading it in a way that makes you happy. Kimberly, Silicon Valley, CA.

You are a professional baker, showing home bakers the right way. Other channels are home bakers showing home bakers how to bake. There is a difference in method and quality. I used to work in a bakehouse, so your style resonates with me and enables me to make nice bread and things too.

Jack, your influence on the world is much more than you can know. Your KZfaq channel may feel like a drop in the ocean but the ripple effect grows and grows. I have learned to bake and I told two friends about your cannel and they told friends etc, etc.Many thanks from Niagara, Canada

Because of you I bake bread weekly and teach all my friends to bake too! Thank you!

I confess, I have done essentially nothing to further your business, but your videos got me through the terrifying growing pains of learning to bake bread. I tell anyone who will listen that they have to subscribe to your channel, and I eagerly watch pretty much anything you put out - long or short. So thanks for all the help. My family eats fresh bread largely because of your encouragement. I hope this whole process is as painless as possible for you, and that you keep helping other people as much as you've helped me. Cheers from Canada.

Jack, I can’t thank you enough. Because of you, I can reliably bake a beautiful and delicious boule, and at times go through 50 lb flour in a month or two, resulting in many happy friends and neighbors. You simplified so much and got rid of countless pieces of unnecessary and bad advice. Wish you all the best in your new ventures.

After countless attempts at learning to bake bread, I couldn’t get how to knead the dough with my limited muscle development. But I finally did learn to bake bread because fortunately I stumbled upon your channel. Your real time process was what did it for me and I got addicted to kneading a beautiful soft dough. Baking bread has become a passion and my family are delighted. I honestly don’t think I could have done it without you, all the other channels I watched didn’t help. So a big Thank You Jack from here in Canada and I wish you all the very best in the days ahead.

Hey Jack, it's so great to see you following your heart! I wanted you to know that you've touch my life in a significant way. I first found your videos 5 years ago (pre-covid!), and your advice helped me to create the best sourdough bread I never thought I could ever make. Since then, I've picked up a bunch of stuff from your shop and you've sent me some lovely personalized messages over the years. I've kept it all and use your gear for every bake! You've been a real inspiration to me and my bread making. My skills have developed over the years, and I'm now able to crack out amazing sourdough for my family and friends. Thank you for everything you've done and continue to do, I hope you find the path that brings you the most happiness and joy. Cheers to you, Jack!! -Matt

I'm glad you're not giving up - I've learned so much from your channel, but you must put yourself and family first. Good luck and thank you.

Thank the good Lord, Jack, that you took the time to explain what is going on. The shorts were bothering me because--like you said--I felt like something was off and feared the channel was winding down for good. I never made any ugly comments about the shorts but I was feeling anxious about them. Thank you so much for your honesty and graciousness. The last 4 years have been a nightmare. In spite of it all, your smile helped many of us get through. Love and Light.

You are getting wiser. That is always a good thing. I went through the same thing when first opening a medical office. It quickly became clear that I did not own it. It owned me and was an unwelcomed distraction from the patients that I loved. After two years, that was it, closed, and life was good again. Being free to focus on my craft again was wonderful. I just ordered 2 books and scissors from your store. Thank You !

Jack, you are a fantastic teacher. You have freed me from slavishly clinging to recipes to understanding the PROCESS of bread baking. Now I feel joy in the journey to that loaf of bread, not just worrying that my loaves will not be "the best bread ever," but truly appreciateing the thrill of watching that blob of flour, water, and yeast , ect. turn into an actual LOAF OF BREAD! Thank you! May God give you peace!

I am baker in the US who has loved your videos and have learned to be a better bread baker. Thank you 🙂

Jack - The body of work you have on KZfaq is a treasure! I know that the short videos you will be making are going to be equally wonderful. Today at work, my colleagues and I were discussing bread making and all we have learned from you. Two years ago not a single one of us was baking bread - and now we are because of you! Keep growing. Keep adapting. Keep changing. I am looking forward to the exciting things you will be showing us in the future.

I've learned so much watching your videos. I hope the past content will still be available, cause I can seriously rewatch them again and again. Appreciate all you've achieved, and look forward to where your passion leads you.

Mate, just done a bit to help out with clearing the warehouse of goods for you :). Every point you made here makes complete sense and your honesty, integrity and willingness to help others is a shining example for the rest of us. Loving the shorts, really pleased whenever they pop up! If you do get back to full vids here on YT, I'll no doubt devour them with the same enthusiasm as the other 200+ Whatever path you choose, we'll be here, hugs at the ready! See you on 21/5/24...can't wait :)

Totally get it. I'm glad our paths crossed when they did, I was in a bad place and the one thing I had my heart set on was baking sourdough and was constantly failing. Tried your method and now successfully make two loaves a week. As humans we are constantly coming into contact with each other, sometimes fleeting, and we'll never know the impact that has had 🥰

Dear Jack, You saved me on my sourdough journey during covid. I was going nuts. I tried and tried in vain until I found you! I still use your recipe and I have given my sourdough starter to so many people now. Your dough scraper is also amazing. Thank you!

Actually mate, you could run a channel on anything you chose. You have that little bit of magic in your style, character and relatability that others would kill to have. It's a real talent and you've got better and better over the years. Whatever you do, use that. Your a people person and an exceptional communicator. Use that. You'll fly.

Jack- In short (lol) you are the best thing to happen to me since sliced bread. 😂 Seriously, found you during covid and now I bake bread weekly. I think the “shorts’’ are perfect. No matter how long your videos are I love that you touch base with us. You have always been so honest and forthcoming in all the years I’m following you. Wishing you nothing but the best in whatever your future brings. I’ll be in London visiting my daughter early June. Do you have any events planned? Anyway, you are the BEST! I thank you for all you have taught me ❤❤

Just wanted to say thank you - i've used and referenced your videos many times in my efforts to be a better baker. Thank you for the CONTENT :). You are a great teacher and i've always loved your way of breaking down instructions and showing the flexibility in baking recipes...as you know there are lots of stuffy instructions out there that indicate bread can only be baked by following the exact instructions. All the best to you.

Jack, your humour, realness, good nature and easy to follow tutorials have made me a happier person. I love my new sourdough hobby because of you. With all the negative associated with Social Media, you are a huge positive. Thank you!!!

I just came across one of your short vids yesterday while recovering from covid and binged on them. Today, this is the first full length video I've seen and was looking forward to more. I've been baking my entire adult life and you are an inspiration.

You saved my life during lockdown Jack and gave me the tools to learn a wonderful new skill. I’m truly gutted you’re going through this nightmare and wish you all the very best you get through it unscathed. We have your back mate, keep rolling 💪🏽

Hi Jack, as below comments, the content and channel has been superb for me, at 61 years old I can now make basic bread to share with the family along with garlic bread and hot cross buns, only joined recently and refer to you as my tutor, fantastic, love it, thank you. Rob.

You have been the biggest help in my bread baking journey. I binged each and every video and you gave the convidence to keep on trying. And I am so glad I did, still baking two beautiful loafs every week. Thanks to you, my friend!

Jack! I started baking sourdough last summer and YOU were ALWAYS the one I went back to again and again for help on a particular step. I must say that my bread is now beautiful and delicious and I owe that to you. Thank you, thank you for all your help, your humor, your kindheartedness and your great teaching. We all feel like we know you personally, even though it's just been through the computer screen. Congrats on following your soul and making this change. A new chapter awaits and I wish you all the best now and always. God bless you, dear Jack!

That's so wonderful you've figured out how to have more time for the things you love doing! It's so fun to see when you post shorts and how great that you might have time to make some longer videos, too! Wish I was in England to come to one of your classes! All the things you're planning sound so wonderful and life-giving. Thank you so much for including us on your journey!

I love you, Jack! (said as a mom) Healthful food is extremely important and quality bread is now in our home. The journey hasn't been painful, even with loaves that weren't easy or didn't turn out "right." Thank you so very much! Ending the Ltd/Corp part of your life will simplify so much. You will breathe better and have more fun! Enjoy it all!

Thank you Jack. You be you. Keep posting the shorts please! Good luck for the future. You made me appreciate bread and I bake all my own now to your principles. I like re-watching your videos for education and entertainment!

Oh Jack, please don't go 😢 you are such an inspiring person. I bought your book and have made so many wonderful breads for my family and friends. Just yesterday, I gave a sourdough loaf to one of my neighbours ( I do this every weekend, by the way, cos they love it so much 😊) and they shared it with their extended family, and the wonderful comments I got back about how wonderful it tastes and they all wanted me to open up a bakery 😮 and that is all down to you and your amazing teaching. I watched so many you tube channels to learn how to make sourdough and disaster after disaster until YOU. So all I can say is 'Thank you, thank you, thank you.' ❤ YOU ARE AMAZING ❤

Thank you Jack. You have been there with me during my sour dough bread journey. I wish you and your family all the best. Thank you so much for becoming part of my journey.

Please know, as a newbie to the sourdough game a year ago, it took me that full year to try, test, fail, and finally find, the baker, the method, the joy in making a sourdough loaf that is my GO TO process...and I found it in you and your "Sourdough Loaf for Beginners" tutorial. You gave me such a gift in sharing your process and I am forever grateful. I bought your cookbook and I love watching your videos. I hope the future brings you happiness as well.

Hi Jack! I do my everyday bread at home in Brazil thanks to you. The way you teach is so nice. Good luck with your new projects!

We love you Jack. Your smile , your teaching skill. Imparting your baking skills. You have taught this old man so much. Take a deep breath, time out with the family, rest and rejuvenate. Hopefully you will come back some time and carry on teaching and sharing on what you know best. Good luck for the future. 👍👍

I miss my bake with Jack… be and influencer or content creator, it suits you. Also its the way a lot of us can see you and not able to travel

Hi Jack, I live over the pond from you. Watching your videos has absolutely transformed my baking. Not only are you talented but extremely delightful to watch. Don't ever let anyone question your decision... Take care of you and your family. All of us out here are extremely grateful for you and want the best for you. God bless you, Tina

You brought the FUN back into baking bread for this old lady! Bless you & the best off luck to you in your future endeavors!! ❤❤

Jack, you are a legend, no really! Sounds like this is one door closing and another opening, I only stumbled on your channel recently and only made the baguettes so far but it was all down to your inspiration, banter and all round greatness so thanks for that and good luck with all your future endeavours!!

Hey Jack, found your channel a few months ago and have incorporated so many tips from your videos into my weekly bread routine. You've been a great source of information and inspiration. Thank you for all the hard work you've done, Jack, I'm sure you'll re-find that spark soon! I must also say, i enjoy the shorts! its how i came across your content in the first place!

If it weren't for you I'd be buying rubbish bread, and living in countryside Taiwan it isn't easy, so a big thank you, I now make great bread and my neighbors love it too

New chapter. And your joy matters more to us than content. Well done. Thanks for all you have taught, and for your bowl scrapers which are my favorite! 💕

Jack, I found your KZfaq channel during COVID when I started baking sourdough like everyone else. Your sourdough episode was eye opening and gave me a better understanding on what to do or look for than any other ones I found. I’m still using your ratio to this day. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Whatever you decide to do, I hope you’ll be able to rediscover your passion and connect that with your love for people with like minds. Lots of love from Australia.

Don't pay attention to comments! (Except this one)

Come visit me and jarod in Idaho. Off grid in the woods! Play in the garden, grow herbs make sourdough and explore the river and creeks.

You helped me so much with getting over my frustration of constant failure in bread making. Because if your videos, my confidence in bread making has increased and I actually make really good bread to share with others. Thank you!!

Thanks to you I make all my own sourdough and have given lots of starters away with your videos to watch. You are so enthusiastic about baking and sincere in your love for your art and sharing. Do take time out to sort out your business and get back that wonderful energetic and optimistic you. We will wait and watch your shorts. Thank you so much for what you have already given. Many thanks Rowena

Thank you for keeping us all busy and a little less crazy during Covid. My family loves my different breads and handling dough is a joy after learning from you. Best wishes!!!!!

Just did my little part of helping to empty the warehouse! And there wasn't much left so I'm glad I got what I did. I'm glad you are taking charge of what makes you and your family happy. Figuring it out and moving forward is key. You have been a huge help to a lot of people who were lost and confused during Covid, and some of us still are. It's true that the world has changed. But I think it's changed for the better. People realized what matters and what doesn't, and you my friend, matter. Much Love ❤

Jack, from Northern Ireland, you kept me going during covid, learning to bake sourdough. Your infectious, joyous bread making is an inspiration. Please do what you need to do but please know, you’ve made a difference! Jan

Jack, be happy, you have made so many people happy, be blessed, bake on dude.

Jack, you guided me through the early stages of learning to bake bread. I use your crusty bloomer recipe as my default yeasted bread recipe. We all have to make decisions and adjust in life, but I will always be grateful for your teaching me how to get through the challenges of making bread. Thank you

Jack you are a seriously gifted teacher. You have taught us much more than how to make a loaf of bread. You have taught us to love the process and celebrate the result. You have also taught us through example how to have humility, openness, honesty, and the courage to change course when it’s necessary. I watch Your videos with my 10 year old grandson at bed time when not much else soothes him. He loves you and was concerned for you when he could feel that you weren’t happy. I’ll head to the online shop and get him the Bake with Jack dough scraper he has been asking for, he loves the sound of it on the wooden board. 😊. (Perth, Australia)

I was devastated seeing the 'closing down' - I've only just found "Bake with Jack" - my sister recommended you! I have found your style informative, entertaining and practical! And most of all thanks to you I have been making successful loaves of sourdough bread - and my family and I are really enjoying eating it! I was really relieved you are keeping doing your KZfaqs YOUR way - and getting your mojo back - and you are still going to be doing the shorts! :) Thanks for all your efforts - I am, as are other New Zealanders who subscribe to your KZfaq .....grateful! :) Look forward to new beginnings!

Jack, u taught me how to be a bread baker and I am so grateful! I never buy store bread any longer! Love you Jack

You are just what I needed when I thought throwing starter away was stupid. I never watch “shorts” . You are a character. Thank you!

Thanks Jack for all your inspiration! I learned a lot from your channel, and gonna miss your ROLL IT! Choosing for yourself is always better then burning up. You’re making the right call. Your enthusiasm will continue as a Bake with Jack flavor in millions of breads world wide!

Jack, take care of yourself first and foremost. Keep the shorts coming! I know they are helping people, often with a tip or an ah-ha! that they would otherwise only find buried in a longer video. You have already given so much. There is so much knowledge in the old weekly bread tip videos. Find your passion and joy again, and we'll be here when you are back!

I've been making my own bread for about a year now all thanks to you Jack! Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours 👍

Jack, you helped me learn how to make bread. For that I am truly grateful. Your dough scrapers are awesome too. Keep on keepin' on 👊

Having just found your channel three weeks ago and binge watching my reaction to your news was noooooo. It is a bit far from Australia to pop in to one of your bread making in house sessions but how lucky are those who can. Best of luck with the future. You are right to do what you need to keep your passion alive.

You are a natural born teacher. Delightful personality. I am someone who loves to know the why it works and you certainly hit the mark. Wish you continued success.

Well just so you know! You are my bookmark as the first line of bread making lessons so thank you! I’ll get it together and actually sign up and pay you for your time ! Sally from California!

Whew! When I read the title, I was like . . . Say what?? Love your channel, love the shorts, love your sense of humor. Thank you. I tried several methods of sourdough making and have stuck with yours. Fun Jack is still around and you will reconnect. Big Hugs!!

Hello Jack. Just to add to all the other positive comments. Your lessons and techniques are so good and so reliable I now bake all our bread and our friends who call round love it too! I recommended you to loads of people too.

Not sure I have understood..will your channel still up? I love your old videos, you can tell you liked what you were doing and I understand the pressure. Thanks for all your work. It was helpful for many of us. Good luck with your future endeavours!

Thanks Jack - do what's right for you and your family.

Sounds like classic burnout Jack. Of course we don't know what you are experiencing IRL or as a business. We just want CONTENT!!!! 🙂 Remember, as long as your YT vids remain online, they will be your legacy. Not to mention becoming a published author! You helped so many of us weather the storms of the global pandemic. Never forget that! The result for me was becoming a legit micro baker that feeds his local community. Cheers to your future Jack!

Jake, i''m having a sad day now, hearing all this. You my very hansom English man are a great teach, but you are also very entertaining, so darn funny someone should snapping you up and putting on TV or for the movies. you will never please every body but man you have pleased so so many. I am very grateful for what you have taught me and all so for putting a big smile on my face. I am a Dutch lady living in Australia and my son lives in London for about 7 years. I send you all the happiness and luck in the world. Thank you your parents should be very proud of you. xxx

Hi Jack, I know we're all faceless and basically nameless people popping up in your video comments but I just came here to say a couple of things (and hope that you're reading these!). Just this weekend I made your Rosemary and Sea Salt Focaccia and it was amazing. I then sat with your book for the hundredth time to bookmark the next recipes I want to try. I made it a whole thing on Saturday afternoon - blanket, cup of tea etc! Whilst I was doing that it dawned on me that your book is one of the best cookbooks I own (and I've owned a lot over the years). There's nothing better than being so spoiled for choice of what to make next and being excited to try all the recipes at once. I'm so sad I even made a spreadsheet of what's on my bread-making bucket list of 2024 and every single recipe is yours. Your doughnuts are next on the agenda if you were wondering! I've had some trials making your recipes for sure, but you always manage our expectations and I go into the next one with more experience. Your candour, humour and authenticity shine through in both your book and videos. I'm a better bread maker because you've made something that seemed initially quite complicated and a bit scary very accessible. I just want you to know you've made a very positive difference to a lot of people, even if your heart wasn't fully in it. I'm looking forward to what you do next (please say another book at the very least!). I hope you find what makes you feel joyful again. The 'old' you is never far once you get back on the right track. In the meantime, best of luck with shed loads of paperwork and please pray for my waistline as I ambitiously try to complete your book this year :-D.

Jack! You are one of the loveliest, most genuinely authentic people on YT and I’m so sorry you’ve been through it. Thank you for all the smiles you raised (the blackboard 😂) and reassurances made (over-proofed bread really CAN be rescued!!). Your book is one of my favourites - every recipe exceeds expectation and your dough scrapers / peels and proofing cloths are superb!!!! I’m sure I speak for the many when I say you’ll be greatly missed and we’ll all be waiting for your metamorphosis - when you’re good and ready. Take care. Don’t stop being you - and never stop being true to who you are! xxx

You gave me purpose in the first lockdown Jack, i even killed my oven using all that steam for sourdough every day😂. My starters (Bert, Ernie Eric and Lady A) are still dormant in my freezer ready to go if i ever get the time to make sourdough again. Your yeasted loaf, brioche and burger buns are a regular make at home, and I've recommended your channel to everyone that wants to learn the method of good bread making. God bless you and THANK YOU for everything.

Jack, thank you for what you do. My wife's "favorite obsession" of mine is my sourdough baking. Your channel and videos along with your positive personality and wit has made it all fun and successful.

I loved your videos during the pandemic and your personality was a bubbly beacon during that time. Do whatever keeps that spirit going Jack! KZfaq, classes, a bakery, forums, whatever!

Jack, you've changed my life! The bread ive baked thanks to you and the confidence i now have handling dough and freestylijg my baking means so much to me!

It’s called evolving and soul-building. Now you know how to hone your purpose. Joy to you and yours, and thanks so much for passing so much of it to us.

Thanks for everything you’ve given on KZfaq. Do what is right for you. My connection and how I found my way here, I casually made okay bread. I lost my job and was unemployed for 8 months. It was mentally draining searching, applying, interviewing, and not getting picked on repeat. Your channel, bread philosophy, and teaching helps me through a really rough time. I have a job now, but my relationship with baking, food, and bread is different now. Thank you for the lifetime hobby and delicious recipes!

You ARE a person, always have been to me. You taught me how to make a sourdough that is revered by everyone I know. People ask me to make it for them and ask me to show them how I do it. Can you imagine what I do? I direct them to your Sourdough 101 video and suggest they have the computer on the counter, pausing it between steps, while they are learning. I also give them my number and I do what I can to help, but it has always been you. Hope your mental health, mentality, drive, inspiration returns asap. Maybe remake basic videos, your sourdough recipe has changed a bit since I first found you, so make the video again with all the new "bits and bobs"? (the inverted baking sheet on the top rack, turning the oven off and letting the dough sit for 8 minutes before turning it back on, etc...) Anyway, Thank You for all of your effort!

Yoo, the reason i bake lovely bread is all thanks to you! Your calming attitude, relatable commentary and general air is absolutely oustanding!!! I like the shorts, i saw the hot x bun recipe there and went to the main video to learn and bake it! I have to say, i absolutely crushed that recipe - all thanks to your content!! You're an absolute legend and i might come along to one of those classes!!

Jack, I always loved your video’s! You have inspired me in baking bread and I often think of you when folding a dough. I love your passion for baking bread and hope to see much of that in future. Follow your passion please and be aware how many peoples you must have made smiling when they taste there own baked bread by your recipe. Keep that in mind! As a 70 year old guy I know that is the only thing that is worthy living for; make one person happy for just one moment. You sure have made me happy watching you! Thank you🙏
