Course Description

Do you think that great artisan sourdough bread is really difficult to make, or  that you'd never have the time?

Would you be scared to make your own sourdough culture?

If your answers to any of those questions are 'yes', then you'll be delighted to know you are wrong! 

At the heart of the course, you will learn exactly how to make a Daily Sourdough, by mixing one big batch of dough at the beginning of the week and using your fridge to slow down the rise, so that you can get out some dough and bake a fresh loaf/baguette/rolls every day.   

Breaking this down, you will learn:

  • How to build and maintain a sourdough starter culture
  • How to use your starter to make a leaven
  • All the basic baking techniques: kneading, folding, shaping, proving, scoring and baking.
  • What the different stages and modes of the dough mean
  • Our Seven Steps for making bread
  • The two super-convenient points where you can press pause by using your refrigerator
  • The six expert schedules that give you ultimate flexibility.
  • 13 tried and tested recipes that cover every eventuality from 10 minutes through 3 or 4 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours or all week.   
  • How to do all this with just 5 minutes hands-on effort, letting nature and time do all the rest for you.

Our approach is always friendly, practical, rooted in proven baking principles and more showing than telling. We earnestly believe that baking your own sourdough bread is fundamental to improving your personal health and happiness, which is why we are so excited about sharing these ways of fitting it into your everyday life, with the benefit of all the know-how we’ve acquired after 15 years teaching and decades more of baking.
