“Sophia’s online sourdough course has been a great asset to me! The course is packed full of valuable information and it covers everything you could possibly think of. You even get a free ebook which reiterates everything that’s talked about in the videos and goes into much more detail. It’s a really helpful addition to the course and one that I love. One final part that I’ve found really helpful is the online forum where you can just ask any sourdough related question and within days Sophia will reply! You can also interact with other bakers and see what they're talking about. Overall, it’s a really well executed online course and one you shouldn’t miss out on if you want to learn more about sourdough. Thanks so much for creating this!”

“I started baking sourdough during quarantine in April 2020. I was enjoying the process, and the bread was delicious, but my results were all over the board. YouTube videos were vague, and the information always felt incomplete. I wished I could have someone standing at my shoulder showing me what to look for. Even before her course launched, after I commented on one of her posts, Sophia gave me one quick tip regarding my starter that made all the difference in the world. So it was a no-brainer that I would sign up for the course, and even then it exceeded my expectations. It feels like you’re standing right there in the kitchen with Sophia. The information is clear, thorough, well explained and has even given me the knowledge to coil fold, pre-shape and overnight ferment with confidence. I’ve taken other sourdough courses, and this one by far is the best.”

“I’m not usually a big reviewer of things, but I’m really loving your course. I’m only a few chapters into the course, but I’m already hooked. The teaching style is exactly the right mix of detail and accessibility and, even though I’ve been baking sourdough for a while, I am learning a huge amount with every new lesson. The e-book and the video are beautifully put together and I really feel like you have poured your sourdough heart and soul into the materials! Without doubt one of the best online courses I’ve done in any subject.”

“I wasn’t completely new to sourdough baking as I’d had a little dabble in the past. My bread was just about edible but far from the result I wanted. I decided to invest in Sophia's online course to see if I could improve and I’m so glad I did!! The course is very well thought through so that the whole process is really accessible and easy to absorb. The videos are fun to watch and having the backup of the ebook is so helpful. Your presenting style is warm and encouraging, you have excellent communication skills! When I had a concern about a slow starter you got back to me straight away with advice and reassurance. I would definitely recommend the course. It’s excellent value for money and really gives you everything you need to know. Today I took this little beauty out of the oven and felt very proud!!”

In this video I invited a complete beginner sourdough baker to join me and go through the entire process from starter to finished loaf, asking questions along the way like: How should my starter look? Why should I discard some of my starter? What does the slap and fold do? Do I have to ferment my loaf overnight in the fridge? Watch the whole process and discover that it really isn't as hard as you think.
One of the most frequent excuses I hear for not baking sourdough bread is: ‘I don’t have the time’ That's why I created my checklists to help you fit sourdough baking around your already busy life. With the checklists you’ll never have to worry about timings again and you’ll always be able to have the gorgeous smell of baking bread permeating your home.
How to handle wet, sticky dough is a common question. In this video, I show you techniques to help and answer lots of doughy questions like: Why is my dough sticking to the banneton basket? How can I handle a wet dough without it sticking to my hands? Have you every struggled with sticky dough and don't know why it just doesn't look like mine? Don't worry, I will bust some myths and help you shape the best loaf of your life!
I answer some of the most pressing sourdough related questions during a three-part video session. When’s the best time to use my starter? How do I know I’ve developed the gluten? What does the folding do? What happens if I’m short on time? Can I bake my loaf in one day? Can I change the hydration levels when I’m more confident? What if I don’t own a thermometer? How do I know when I’ve over-proofed/under proofed my dough? How do I know when I don’t need to do anymore folding? How do I keep my bread moist when it’s resting? The Troubleshooting videos give you an easy to search guide that answers your questions fast.
