2014 is history and 2015 is a blank page. I thought it's a good time to wrap 2014 up in terms of baking-related highlights, and set some goals for 2015. So here they are:

 

My baking-related highlights in 2014:

• I ran 12 Running Baker rounds and gained new customers. That's one round per month!
• I baked at Surdegskungen for 3 days and learnt a new way to shape loaves, how to push your dough to the hydration limit, and most of all whole load of inspiration and motivation to move forward with my dreams!
• I wrote an article about how I became the Running Baker for BREAD Magazine (published in the winter issue 2014). Start a subscription now - it is a great magazine for bread lovers!
• I baked for the first time in a wood-fired stone oven, in a beautiful place up north in Sweden.
• I gained about 200 followers on my bread-focused Instagram account. Thanks to all of you!
• I started working on a new logo for my baking business and am now using printed cards for the packaging of the breads - one step closer to a real business!

What I want to achieve in 2015:

• Scale up my baking business, bake in bigger quantities, bake at least twice at events.
• Run at least 20 the Running baker rounds. That's 1.7 rounds per month!
• Come up with the formula for perfect loaf of bread - THE bread! That means optimizing my favourite recipes to find that perfect version of the-bread-you-want-everyday.
• Blog at least one every week and share more recipes with my dear readers.
• Have a new logo, bringing together the blog and the Running Baker in a better way.
• Learn more about Swiss baking culture while living in Switzerland through courses or bakery practice.
• If I find the right bakery setup in the right place, start a business and open my own bakery....
