FAQs
Do I have to know how to bake bread before I take a course?
No! You can be a complete and utter beginner! I teach you everything you need to know and you will go home knowing how to bake sourdough bread no matter your experience.
I have tried baking sourdough bread before with no luck…will this course help?
Yes! I have had multiple students take my course who have tried to bake sourdough bread before-either on their own with a cookbook or from the internet. They have gone on after taking my course to bake sourdough bread with much more success!
I haven’t been able to keep a sourdough starter alive or thriving before. Will this course help me do so?
Yes. I can give you a lot of information and knowledge to help you troubleshoot taking care of your sourdough starter. We spend a fair amount of time on this in both courses because it is the foundation of sourdough baking!
I want to learn how to bake sourdough bread with wholegrain flours? Do you cover this?
We talk about it in our workshops but this isn’t the main focus. If I ever develop a wholegrain workshop it will be on here and my social media outlets for you to find out about!
