Level 1 sourdough classes are designed for beginners and early bakers who want to build a strong foundation without overwhelm. If you’re new to sourdough, unsure where to start, or feeling confused by conflicting advice online, these classes are the right place to begin.
Level 1 focuses on the essentials: understanding what sourdough is, how a sourdough starter works, and how to begin baking with confidence. These classes break down the basics in a clear, practical way, with real explanations and plenty of guidance.
Classes in this level cover:
- How to make and care for a sourdough starter
- What fermentation actually means and how to recognise it
- Basic dough handling and timing
- Common beginner mistakes and how to avoid them
Level 1 classes are offered in small in-person groups and online, depending on the class. No prior experience is required. You don’t need special equipment, advanced techniques, or baking knowledge to take part.
If you’re looking for a calm, supportive introduction to sourdough and want to understand the process before moving on to bread, pizza, or more advanced baking, Level 1 sourdough classes are the right place to start.
