Question 1

I'm a TOTAL beginner and honestly a little intimidated. Is this class really for me?

Accepted Answer

YES! Absolutely, 100%! This class was created with the absolute beginner in mind. We start from scratch, assuming zero prior experience. My passion is turning nervous beginners into confident bakers in just one session, sharing my 15 years of simplified techniques.

Question 2

Sourdough seems like it takes FOREVER. I work 9-to-5, how can I possibly fit this in?

Accepted Answer

As someone who understands a busy schedule, I've specifically designed my methods to weave seamlessly into modern life. Forget being chained to your starter! I'll teach you the rhythm and techniques that require minimal 'active' time, fitting around your work & family commitment.

Question 3

Will I actually learn to make that amazing, fluffy sourdough bread?

Accepted Answer

Our entire focus is on mastering the core techniques that lead DIRECTLY to that wonderfully tangy flavour, open, fluffy crumb, and gorgeous crust you're dreaming of. We'll cover starter vitality, handling dough with confidence, simple shaping, and my foolproof baking method.

Question 4

Do I need loads of fancy, expensive equipment?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! I firmly believe amazing sourdough should be accessible to everyone. We'll be using standard kitchen equipment you likely already own. I’ll show you how to achieve fantastic results without breaking the bank on specialised gear.

Question 5

What should I bring to the class?

Accepted Answer

Just bring your wonderful self, your curiosity, and your excitement to learn! We provide all ingredients and equipment needed for the class activities. A big Plastic tupperware is needed to bring back the Sourdough dough home to bake. An apron is handy if you have one, but totally optional.

Question 6

Can I purchase the Sourdough Starter Tool Kit you mentioned?

Accepted Answer

Yes! As a special bonus for joining the class, you'll have the exclusive opportunity to purchase our curated Starter Tool Kit at a whopping 50% discount on the day. It includes key items to make continuing your sourdough journey at home even easier – but it's completely optional!
