Looking to get your gluten fix while browsing Instagram? Well, look no further, because I have the perfect account for you to follow.

Sarah Owens is the queen of baking breads, and she shows off plenty of loaves that are to die for on her fantastic account, @sarah_c_owens. From sourdough to rye, you’ll find it all and be inspired by the delicious crusty offerings that she is always baking and sharing with her followers.

Not only does Sarah bake and post about it on Instagram, but she also writes books that teach you about baking and how to make a perfect loaf of bread. Her first book, Sourdough, Toast & Jam was recognized with a James Beard Foundation Award for excellence in culinary writing.

After years of research, development, writing, and photographing, the #heirloomcookbook is finally in my hands! So many people to thank including @minh_ngoc and her incredible photographic talent as well as @roostbooks and their team for editing and organizing the recipes and images into this gorgeous volume. I’ve shared more in the story highlights if you care to take a peek! Pre-orders are available wherever books are sold (released in the US Sept 24). A book tour is in the works in cooperation with small, indie book and kitchen stores that is being updated through the Events tab on my website @ritualfinefoods. Can’t wait to share my enthusiasm for heritage ingredients and their value in modern breeding efforts, heirloom recipes reimagined in a modern context, and techniques older than any of our grandmothers translated through a personal narrative. I hope you will keep this book at hand to bake, ferment, and preserve the seasons as much as to read the stories of this quirky life I’ve been fortunate to explore through food!

Her second book, Heirloom, is set to come out soon and will feature recipes and stories from American cooking. It’s sure to be another success and a great read if you’re looking to find out more about bread-making.

Even if you don’t have her books handy, you’re still sure to learn about all kinds of new breads and techniques just by following her account. And if you don’t even learn anything, well, your mouth is still going to water!
