FAQ
-
Do I get to keep the videos after the course is over?
Yes! You will have access to the course forever.
-
How long is the course?
The recommended time frame is 4-6 weeks, but you can take as long or as little time as you want!
-
Is this course for a beginner baker?
Yes! This course is for someone who has never baked any bread before, for someone who has baked yeasted bread but not sourdough and even for someone who has tried sourdough bread out before with less success than desired. This is not an intermediate course.
-
What kind of bread are we making? Will we learn other techniques like baguettes?
You will learn to bake a classic sourdough, focaccia and pizza dough. This course focuses first and foremost on what I believe to be the basics and foundation of sourdough. Learning the basics is essential before moving on to other more difficult breads. Focaccia and pizza dough are a great addition once you have your sourdough loaf down!
-
Do I have to make my own sourdough starter?
No! You will be receiving a dehydrated sourdough starter in the mail directly from me. You will learn how to get it going in the course.
-
Will we learn how to bake whole grain sourdough bread?
Not exactly. This course is focused on a classic white sourdough. I do have instructions in the course on how to start adding small amounts of whole grain flour into your bread as you become more comfortable with the process. Don't worry-whole grains are one of my passions-there will be a whole grain course in the future! I highly recommend you learn the basics in Sourdough Simplified before getting into whole grains. The skill level of whole grain baking is much higher than white sourdough.
This course is for you if:
- You have never baked bread before but have always wanted to!
- You have baked yeasted bread before and have always wanted to give sourdough bread baking a go!
- You’ve attempted sourdough bread baking before with less success than you hoped for!
There is space here for all of you.
In this busy life we live, sourdough allows us to slow down and connect with something bigger than us! It connects us to the food we eat, the farmer who grew the grain, our neighbour we gift a loaf to, the microbes that populate our world and a greater sense of history.
Baking sourdough and sharing it with my family has been one of the greatest pleasures of my life. And the benefits of eating homemade sourdough bread rather than grocery store fluff makes me feel like I'm giving my son a better life.
