Struggling to Master Fresh Pasta and Sourdough? This is My Secret Workaround

During lockdown, I got pretty good at my at-home cheffing. But, man, cooking sourdough and pasta from scratch has not come easy. 😵‍💫

I haven’t found the perfect starter feeding ratios, and it’s frustrating that my pasta dough recipes aren’t turning out. I was venting to a friend who’s a fellow home cook, and she lit up talking about Wildgrain. She said it was about to make me forget about sorting out that starter.

Turns out my girl was right: Wildgrain is the amateur chef’s dream. While I’m making a mean roast with all the sides, this pasta and bread subscription handles the grains like a champ. 🥐 Here’s the situation:

Delicious, artisan grains without spending hours in the kitchen

My nearest and dearest have seen my meals evolve from simple staples like meatloaf to more complex spreads. My tomato sauce is the best around. Naturally the next step would be to make handmade pasta to serve it over, but it’s hit or miss whether the texture will be gummy or just right.

When I first cooked up fresh pasta from my Wildgrain box, I had extremely low expectations, since it arrived frozen. But seriously, it was the best pasta I’d ever eaten under my own roof. 🍝

That’s because it was made by some of the most capable hands using unbleached flour, no GMOs, no artificial colors, and clean ingredients, just like everything else Wildgrain sends.

No fancy bread makers or pasta machines: Wildgrain is freezer-to-table in 25 minutes or less

Those capable hands belong to the people running small, successful bakeries—aka they’re in it for the love of the game. Wildgrain partners with bakers & pasta makers to source the freshest, tastiest, highest-quality carbs, freezes them, and ships (for free!) to your door. Everything bakes in 25 minutes or less (no thawing needed)!, so they’re not holding up your meal. 🙌

Customizable boxes that fit your needs

I love eating healthy, and a serving of carbohydrates is part of a balanced meal. But it can’t just be any old dusty piece of grocery store bread. It’s got to be top-notch and delicious as all get out. Wildgrain lets you choose what goes in your box, so you’re not feeling obligated to eat something that doesn’t work for you, your tastes, or your diet.

Each box comes ready to support 30+ meals, including croissants for breakfast, breads for sandwiches, pastas for dinner, and so much more. They deliver for free with flexible scheduling and they’re easy to skip if you’re traveling or need to catch up on your Wildgrain freezer stash.

Boxes start at $69 if you just want to dip your toes in the best bread ever, but the one I subscribe to is $99, and I know that sounds like a whole lot of bread but when I tell you it’s bakery quality that comes fresh out of your own oven, I know you’ll agree it’s worth it. 🍞

Let’s get this bread

Good bread can make a meal, and if it’s good enough, it can practically be the meal. Up until this point I thought nothing could replace a homemade loaf or a dish of fresh pasta made same-day, but I was wrong.

Wildgrain comes frozen and bakes up like fresh. Mind blown and achievement unlocked. I’m going to save the science of sourdough for retirement and keep sourcing my handmade breads and pastas from the country’s best bakers! 👨‍🍳
