Sourdough bread baking has had a recent surge in popularity but may feel intimidating to learn.  I make it easy for students to learn the ancient craft of baking bread and learn the scientific principles of how it works.

In this 4 week asynchronous course (no live class meetings), your student will learn how to make delicious bread for the whole family by just using flour, water, salt, and a little bit of time and patience.   Each lesson will have a video that your student can watch on their own time to be sure they have assistance exactly when their dough is ready for the next step.  Worksheets will also be provided that can be printed to create your student’s own baking journal.

Video lessons for each week will be available on the classroom page, as well as any worksheets, written instructions, or ingredient lists.   

Students will be encouraged to post photos, comments, or questions on our classroom page to show their progress.  Please allow up to 48 hours for teacher feedback, but in most cases, I will be able to respond more quickly.   

You may also purchase this course upfront to receive access to all the lessons right away, however, please note that making a starter from scratch may take anywhere from 7-21 days before it’s ready to bake the bread.  If your student would like to make their first loaves sooner, you can purchase sourdough starter online or borrow some from a friend/family member to jump-start your baking journey.  

Creating and caring for the starter culture can be done in just a few minutes per day.  Baking each loaf of bread will take anywhere from 24-48 hours from start to finish however, it’s very minimal hands on time (less than an hour of work combined).  Most of the time is waiting for the natural yeasts and bacteria to do their job of fermenting, which is why I believe patience is a key ingredient in this recipe 😊
