Have you always wanted to bake your own sourdough bread, but felt a little intimidated by all the rules, timings and mystery?

Perhaps you've watched lots of videos, read different recipes and still aren't quite sure what you're supposed to do — or you've tried before and it didn't quite work.

Sourdough doesn't have to be complicated.

In my Sourdough Success online course, I'll take you step by step through the whole process, from your ingredients and first mix right through to shaping, proofing, baking, slicing and storing your bread.

My aim is simple: to help you understand the process, feel confident with your dough and become a successful sourdough baker from loaf ONE.

Helpful resources to download

You'll also receive four practical PDFs to keep beside you in the kitchen:

• Making your own Sourdough Starter

• Starter Feeding Routine

• Step-by-Step Sourdough Bread

• Baking Schedule Examples

And what about my sourdough starter?

To bake your first loaf, you'll need an active, healthy sourdough starter.

If you're new to sourdough, don't worry — I'll help you understand what your starter needs and how to prepare it for baking. You'll also receive access to my Sourdough Starter Care resources, including two short videos showing you how to feed and prepare your starter.

Once you've got a healthy starter, you can keep it happily in the fridge between bakes and wake it up when you're ready to make bread.

Your starter should fit into your life — not the other way around.

This course is for you if...

• you're completely new to sourdough

• you've been intimidated by the conflicting advice online

• you've tried sourdough before and haven't had the results you hoped for

• you want a simple, clear process rather than more information overload

• you'd like to understand why you're doing things, rather than blindly following a recipe

• you dream of making beautiful bread for yourself, your family and the people you love

Learn from an experienced baker and teacher

I've been baking for more than 30 years and have taught hundreds of people how to make bread.

I've taken everything I've learned and created a course that is practical, reassuring and easy to follow — so you can stop wondering whether you're doing it right and start enjoying the process.

Because there is nothing quite like the smell of your own sourdough in the oven, the sound of that crust crackling as it cools, and the first warm slice when you can think:

“I made this.”
