The Ballerina Farm Sourdough Cookbook: Simple Loaves, Slow Days, and the Beauty of Farmhouse Baking Inspired by Hannah Neeleman

The Ballerina Farm Sourdough Cookbook: Simple Loaves, Slow Days, and the Beauty of Farmhouse Baking Inspired by Hannah & Daniel NeelemanThere’s something almost sacred about bread rising in the early light, when the farm is quiet and the world feels as if it could slow forever. At Ballerina Farm, Hannah and Daniel Neeleman have built that rhythm into a life—one where sourdough starter is as much a family member as any of their eight children, and where “wearing many hats” means everything from chore boots to dough hooks.Inside this cookbook, you’ll discover:Rustic sourdough loaves that crackle crusts and comfort the soul—breads you bake when the air is cool, and you want your kitchen to feel like home.Farmhouse pastries & sweet morning treats fit for Sunday table spreads or a quiet moment beside a warm cup of coffee.Shared recipes & traditions born from real farm work—eggs gathered fresh, butter churned with care, flour that feels like it came from your backyard grain.Hannah often says, “It brings me so much joy to know that I made the sourdough, and the milk is fresh and raw, and it’s from our cow.” And together, she and Daniel believe in living simply, gratefully, and with intention. They speak of slow mornings, the weight of buttered bread, and the satisfaction in feeding people with hand-made food.Whether you’re just getting to know sourdough or have been shaping loaves for years, these pages are your invitation to bake slowly, live deeply, and eat with joy. From the first crack of crust to the last crumb of sweet swirl, this collection celebrates the quiet miracles made by flour, heartbeat, and hands.
