About the Course

There’s something deeply rewarding about baking your own bread - the smell, the crackle of the crust, and that first slice of warm, tangy sourdough fresh out of the oven.

This is a comprehensive, pre-recorded online course hosted on Thinkific (not a live class). There are no fixed dates - start anytime, learn at your own pace, and revisit each lesson whenever you need.

In this course, you’ll learn everything you need to make authentic sourdough bread from scratch - no prior experience required.

We’ll go step-by-step through building and maintaining your own starter, understanding fermentation, mastering timing, shaping confidently, and baking loaves that are as beautiful as they are wholesome.

By the end, you won’t just be following a recipe - you’ll understand the science behind sourdough and have the confidence to bake independently.

Student Testimonials

“I’d tried baking sourdough at home for months and failed every time until I took Payal’s class. Everything was broken down so clearly - from feeding the starter to perfecting the crumb. I walked away confident and baked my first successful loaf the very next day!”

“The class was detailed from start to finish. Payal explains the why behind every step, which makes all the difference. The tips she gave on timing and humidity in Singapore are gold. Highly recommend to anyone serious about good bread.”
