If there’s anything better than the way fresh sourdough tastes (I know, doubtful), it would be the way it looks: cracked and golden outside, soft and stretchy inside, scored in stunning patterns that are nothing short of art. With that in mind, here are 22 sourdough bakers to follow on Instagram–for bread pictures that are especially drool-worthy.

(pictured above: Saturday’s loaf!) My husband used to bake sourdough regularly (affiliate link: recipe in this book), but two babies, two houses and a couple years later it’s been harder to find the time. So last week, I ordered a new starter (affiliate link: from Breadtopia on Amazon), fed it, watched it and fed it again. In the days since, there have been a lot of helpful articles (multiple people recommended this site) and many YouTube how-to videos (this one’s great), but what’s really got me inspired is all the hole-y slices and scored loaves on Instagram. There is an entire world of sourdough bakers on Instagram! I will heart all their pics!

So in case you, too, love a little bread-baking beauty, here are 22 sourdough bakers on Instagram worth following:

1. @BlondieandRye / Hannah P.

Who knew sourdough could look so good?

2. @Joseybakerbread / Josey Baker

Saveur magazine blog award winner, home sourdough baker at The Perfect Loaf.
