Sourdough is naturally leavened using a fermented starter of flour and water — no commercial yeast needed! This slow fermentation enhances flavour, improves digestibility, and boosts nutrient availability. Plus, it creates that signature tangy taste and beautiful open crumb we all love.
Not at all! A basic starter kit (bowl, scraper, proofing basket, and a good knife) is helpful, but you can begin with items you likely already have. Our beginner-friendly sourdough starter kits include everything you need to get started with confidence.
Traditional sourdough contains gluten, as it's made with wheat flour. However, we offer dedicated gluten-free sourdough workshops using alternative flours like sorghum, brown rice, and starches — all chosen for their nutritional benefits and baking performance.
Absolutely! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, with step-by-step guidance, hands-on practice, and take-home resources. You'll leave with your own starter, confidence, and a clear plan to keep baking at home.
