Simply Sourdough
From Starter to Confident Baker
Sourdough Without Overwhelm
Sourdough doesn’t have to feel complicated or intimidating. This course was created for home bakers who want to slow down, work with simple ingredients, and learn how to bake nourishing, beautiful sourdough with confidence right in their own kitchen.
This isn’t about perfection or fancy equipment; it’s about building steady skills, trusting the process, and enjoying the quiet rhythm of sourdough baking. By the end of the course, you’ll not only have a reliable method you can return to again and again, but the confidence to bake sourdough that fits into everyday life.
In this course you'll learn:
• how to create a strong, reliable sourdough starter
• exactly how and when to feed it
• how to fix common problems (slow starter, liquid “hooch,” mold concerns, sluggish rise)

• how to shape, score, bake, and control the final result
• how to freeze, dehydrate, rehydrate, and store starter
• how to bake simple everyday sourdough
• how to make easy sourdough recipes
