Sourdough Pricing Guide for Home Bakers

Sourdough takes long fermentation but modest active time. Price on active labor and ingredients, then check the result against local bakery prices.

1. Count active minutes only for labor; fermentation waiting is not paid time.
2. Use the calculator with your real flour price per pound.
3. Compare the suggested price with local bakery and farmers market prices before committing.
4. Raise price, cut cost or bake in larger batches if margin is thin.
