Service Description

A hands-on introduction to artisan sourdough. This is a small-group, hands-on sourdough course designed to help you feel confident baking real sourdough bread at home. Whether you’re completely new to bread baking or have tried sourdough before and felt unsure, this class will guide you step by step — calmly, practically, and without overwhelm. You’ll mix, shape, and bake alongside me, and leave with the knowledge (and dough) to bake your first artisan loaf at home.

This is always optional and shared at no extra cost. Spaces are limited to keep the class personal and hands-on. If you have any questions before booking, feel free to get in touch. Please note that I will require a minimum of 2 people per class. If we do not have 2 people per class, I will reach out to re-arrange a new date at our mutual convenience.
