She may have just dropped the huge news that she got engaged<\/a> \u2014 but baking aficionados are still reeling from Taylor Swift’s reveal that one of her favorite \u201cgranny\u201d hobbies is making sourdough<\/a> with (her now-fiancee!) Travis Kelce. <\/p>\n

On the Kelce brothers’ New Heights<\/em> podcast<\/a>, Travis called her a “loafer for life” as she explained how deep she’s gotten into her sourdough obsession. (Her life of a dough<\/em> girl, if you will.) She makes loaves for friends and asks for feedback as she tinkers with her recipes \u2014 including Travis\u2019 fave blueberry-lemon loaf and a funfetti sourdough for her soon-to-be nieces. <\/p>\n

A pop icon and<\/em> a boundary-breaking master baker? Of course she is!<\/p>\n

While we all wish we could have Taylor as our sourdough-baking bestie, count yourself incredibly lucky if you have someone in your life who is also exploring this delicious hobby. Even better, show them your appreciation for their skill with a thoughtful gift<\/a> as we head into the coziest months of the year.<\/p>\n

Why Sourdough Bakers Deserve the Best Gifts<\/h2>\n

Baking sourdough isn’t the easiest skill to master in the kitchen. It’s a bit trickier to bake than other breads because it doesn’t utilize yeast. Instead, it requires a starter; that is, a live, fermented culture that needs to be regularly “fed” with flour and water. During the weeks-long fermentation process, the temperature of the starter affects the ultimate flavor, crust and crumb of the bread \u2014 so it’s a crucial variable to maintain. Sourdough baking also requires precise proofing times for the dough to rise, and the resulting dough is particularly sticky and more complicated to handle.<\/p>\n

Clearly, a lot of time and patience goes into the craft. So let\u2019s celebrate the sourdough baker in your life with some clever tools and attractive accessories that\u2019ll make their labor of love that much more enjoyable \u2014 and the bread they share with you even tastier!<\/p>\n

We rounded up some of the best gifts for sourdough bakers below, from retailers like King Arthur Baking Company<\/a>, Williams Sonoma<\/a> and more. The only question is: Are you bready<\/em> for it?<\/p>\n
