What this page is. Sourdough and baking self-use guides — a free stress-free sourdough starter book, a $2.81 recipe-planning wheel, a $6.99 bread-science ebook, a $10 sourdough recipe book for busy schedules, a $19 better-bread ebook, and a $124.99 five-recipe taped video course — for the home baker using them in their own kitchen. Every pick is from a distinct seller, one per seller, and every card covers a different baking job — a free starter book, a recipe wheel, bread science, busy-schedule recipes, better-bread method, and a video course — so no two cards sell the same thing. The buyer here is the home baker buying for their own kitchen, never a bakery business or reseller. Nothing here is income talk, and this page never promises baking outcomes as editorial fact — every outcome claim you see quoted belongs to the seller who wrote it.

Format honesty. Every card states what each pick IS, read live off the listing at build time. The $6.99 pick is an EPUB ebook — stated in its own title. The $19 pick is an ebook — stated in its own title. The $2.81 pick is a recipe wheel plus an instruction guide with an editable Canva link version — stated in the listing's own "What's Included" line, nothing assumed beyond it. The $0 pick is pay-what-you-want — downloadable for free, called $0 here, never a trial. The $10 pick is a sourdough recipe book — per the seller's own product URL. The $124.99 anchor is a taped video course — a one-time purchase, never a membership.

About ratings. Three of the six carry ratings — 5.0 across 4 reviews on the free entry, 5.0 across 5 on the $10 pick, 5.0 on a single review for the anchor — quoted exactly from Gumroad's own JSON-LD, never rounded, never leaned on (single reviews are said with their counts). The other three show no ratings on their listings — their cards say nothing about ratings, never imply any.

Seller words, not ours. Product titles are the sellers' own names for their products, quoted as titles. The free-entry card's "Perfection Not Required... for real people who want great bread—without obsessing over perfection" are the seller's words — quoted, never restated as this page's promise. "Foolproof loaves" is the seller's word — quoted, never asserted by this page. The wheel card's "makes it easy (and fun!) to plan your next bake" and "No more decision fatigue" are the seller's words — quoted. "Busy lifestyle" is the seller's framing — quoted, never claimed as time savings by this page. The anchor's recipe title "no-fail French bread" is quoted as a recipe title, never restated as this page's promise. The anchor's "academy" is the seller's word for a one-time taped course — the listing shows no recurring billing and no membership; this page never frames it as one.

Prices. Prices are set by each seller on Gumroad and can change; prices below were served in USD on a US fetch and may localize for non-US readers. All six were live and in stock at build time, quoted to the cent — never rounded. All six are one-time digital purchases — no subscriptions, no physical goods.

STEP 2 · THE $2.81 SLOT · RECIPE PLANNING WHEEL

Sourdough Recipe Wheel

$2.81 · My Sunday Pantry

The ultra-low-friction slot: a recipe-planning wheel for your next bake — the seller's words, quoted: "makes it easy (and fun!) to plan your next bake", "No more decision fatigue".

The mid-band

Bread science, busy-schedule recipes, and better-bread method — three paid slots, three different baking jobs.

Bread Science (EPUB)

$6.99 · emilybuehler

The theory slot: a bread-science book, sold as an EPUB ebook — format stated in its own title, called an ebook here, nothing more claimed. Distinct job from the recipe-first guides above. Honesty lines: no rating shown on the listing — said plainly, never implied.

STEP 4 · THE $10 SLOT · BUSY-SCHEDULE RECIPES

Sourdough For The Busy Lifestyle

$10.00 · Sophie · rated 5.0 (5 reviews) on Gumroad

The realistic-schedule slot: a sourdough recipe book framed for busy schedules — "busy lifestyle" is the seller's framing, quoted; this card claims no time savings as its own fact. Honesty lines: rated 5.0 across 5 reviews — quoted exactly, never rounded.

STEP 5 · THE $19 SLOT · BETTER BREAD

Bake Better Bread (E-book)

STEP 6 · THE ANCHOR · $124.99 · 5-RECIPE VIDEO COURSE

*ABK academy 5 baking basics*

$124.99 · abountifulkitchen.com · rated 5.0 (1 review) on Gumroad

The anchor: a taped 5-recipe baking video course — bake-along segments you can pause and rewind, recipes included. The five taped segments: cranberry apple pie, Lion House rolls, flaky pie crust + blind baking, "no-fail French bread", chocolate chip cookies — recipe titles quoted, never restated as this page's promise. Note on the title: "academy" is the seller's word for a one-time taped course — the listing shows no recurring billing and no membership; this card never frames it as one. Honesty lines: rated 5.0 across a single review — quoted with its count, never leaned on; this card is framed on utility (5 taped segments, recipes included), never social proof. Price re-verified at build time — carries $124.99 live.

Why this page exists

NINE's free tier stays free because of pages like this one. Every product above was verified live with a visible price and picked for the $0-to-$124.99 ladder: a free stress-free sourdough book rated 5.0 (4 reviews), a $2.81 recipe-planning wheel, a $6.99 bread-science ebook in EPUB, a $10 sourdough recipe book for busy schedules rated 5.0 (5 reviews), a $19 better-bread ebook, and a $124.99 five-recipe taped video course. Every card states the format where the listing states one — and says so honestly where it doesn't. Nothing here is a paid placement. Nothing here is income talk. Nothing here promises a baking outcome.
