Sourdough Sage at 90 | Spokane News

At 90, Don Burge still bakes with passion—his sourdough journey began in 1965 but exploded in 1969 after finding a dried starter packet. From waffles to cinnamon rolls, he’s shared his craft at the Pend Oreille County Fair and now teaches classes through Spokane Community Colleges since 2012. Blending science and soul, Don connects students to ancient baking traditions while filling a personal void after retiring from pharmacy. His joy? Watching others rise with his starter—and him with theirs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
