Sourdough is incredible; its tangy flavour is like no other. But did you know it can do so much more than make bread? There is a whole world of possibilities where the Sourdough starter is used to create something totally unique.

In this class, I’m going to show you how to make a starter, and how to keep your starter alive and healthy without it being a full-time job. I’ll show you how to make it work for you - not the other way around!

Then I want to show you how versatile the Sourdough starter can be.

We’ll make Sourdough Crumpets. These are incredible and taste nothing like the crumpets you buy from the supermarket.

Next, I’ll show you how to make a Sourdough Cracker. Perfectly versatile it can be topped with seeds, herbs, cheese…. let your imagination run wild!

Of course we’ll make a gorgeous loaf of bread and you’ll learn the method of how to make the sour dough bread work for you and not the other way around. It’s easier than you think and I can’t wait to share it with you.

At the end of the class you’ll take home a loaf of bread to bake, some of my starter, confidence to begin your sour dough journey. Oh, and you get all the recipes emailed to you.
