FORGEWICK / CREATOR EDITIONS
Product case study / A Forgewick studio project
From a jar of flour and water to a loaf you can repeat.
We created The First Loaf Sourdough Planner for the question every new baker asks: why did my loaf come out dense, and when is my starter actually ready? It turns the answer into something a reader can use: a starter routine, a weekend baking timeline, a bake log and a troubleshooting sheet.

Self-initiated studio project showing the quality of our work. General home-baking guidance; kitchens, flours and ovens differ. It has not launched with a creator or generated sales.
THE CASE STUDY
One reader problem.
A complete product.
The brief: help a first-time baker keep a starter alive, follow one clear weekend schedule and learn from each loaf instead of guessing.
We grounded the guide in King Arthur Baking's starter and maintenance guidance and The Perfect Loaf's beginner schedule: a starter is ready when it doubles within 6 to 8 hours, bulk fermentation is judged by the dough rather than the clock, and temperature explains most surprises. Every chapter turns that into one simple habit.
The finished edition combines original writing, a consistent illustrated style, a worked weekend and six printable tools. In a partner edition, the creator's own method, recipes and audience questions shape every page.
