While it's true that it can take anywhere from 8-36 hours to finish a loaf of sourdough bread, most of that time is hands-off where the dough is doing all the work on it's own. Your hands-on time is usually less than 30 minutes in total!
While it's true that there is prep work and maintenance of your starter, the process of taking dough to delicious is fairly straightforward. Plus, my students can rely on my proven step-by-step method that makes the whole process super simple.
Aside from a simple kitchen scale (which you might already have!) any additional equipment is just a nice to have. My method will show you how to bake great sourdough without a dutch oven or any of the usual recommended tools.
"Sarah is a self-taught master of her craft. Her understanding of baking and the the process of creating sourdough is truly impressive. It was an honor to have her teach me the art of sourdough. "
"I started baking sourdough bread over a year ago, following a recipe and instructions given by a Sourdough Recipe Book I purchased online. When I heard about Sarah’s course, I wanted to learn some new techniques and see if I could improve the quality of the sourdough bread I was making, and perfect my sourdough skills. The course was wonderful, and I left with full of inspiration and ideas to progress and improve my sourdough baking. I learned a lot of useful information about creating and managing a starter. Sarah is a fantastic instructor she clearly described the steps you need to follow. Thanks to Sarah I now make wonderful sourdough loaves with ease. This course was exactly what I needed to get past my earlier starter and bread failures that I had tried on my own. Excellent course for sourdough beginners. Saves a person a lot of trial and error."
"Sarah’s class was informative, fun and so delicious. Her clear demonstration and teaching style make you feel competent and confident. Her style is fun and enjoyable making the class a pleasure to attend. The sourdough workshop helped me kickstart a lifestyle change that has enhanced my whole family's wellness. I highly recommend it! As a working mom/professional with limited time for extensive culinary projects, I consider sourdough the easiest part of my weekly cooking. I learned the secrets to making sourdough bread baking work according to my schedule due to the excellent tips and tricks that Sarah taught me. It makes me look like I have it all figured out when I present my beautiful loaves as hostess gifts or to add to a homemade meal that I serve to guests when I host company, little do they know how easy the process became once I had the knowledge to make sourdough work with my lifestyle and time constraints."

Great questions asked by great sourdough students
It's okay if you have a "brown thumb!"I have all the aspects of Sourdough Bread covered for you in the course. You'll not only get step-by-step video instructions so you can SEE exactly what you should do, you'll have access to my extensive Q+A resources and a private community group for additional support and encouragement. We've got you!
Some classes and instructors like to focus on the science of the sourdough. And that can be fascinating - if that's of interest to you. But it's totally not necessary to creating a delicious loaf of bread. With The Sourdough Institute we emphasize process and not theory so your focus is on baking the bread, not understanding every aspect of the underlying science.
You can, or find a great local baker. But my best students join my course because they want to know exactly what's in the food they and their family are consuming. They want to experience the feeling of accomplishment that come with making your own food and feeding your loved ones and friends. We all know that handmade always tastes better!
Honestly, you'd be surprised how many people offer to pay me. And I've had students that have started small side businesses baking and selling their sourdough breads. While I don't teach that specifically in the course, you will definitely learn a skill that is absolutely in demand!
No! It's not a full-time job. Not even close. In fact, you can even go away on a long vacation and safely leave your Starter at home unattended. If you know how to prep and prepare it for an extended shelf time. And I show you how to do just that in Module 2 of the course!
The process of creating a new starter typically takes 7-10 days, plus a new starter needs some extra attention during it's first 30 days.
The starter which will be shipped to qualifying applicants is some of my very own established starter which I use every day.
When you receive this starter, which will be shipped in dry form, you will be able to easily revive it by following the tutorials within the course and than proceed to baking in a matter of days.
With this you will have the opportunity to bake breads with half the lead time and your starter will need significantly less of your attention than a new starter.
