Do you offer online courses?

At The Sourdough School, both The Certificate and the Diploma are online courses.  However, for domestic bakers, we suggest The Sourdough Club, which is designed to provide an ongoing learning experience and support for domestic bakers who want to master the art of sourdough baking at home. The Sourdough Club is a comprehensive resource that enables members to expand their skills and knowledge in the world of sourdough, and we teach all the BALM protocol here.

Some of the key benefits of joining the Sourdough Club for a home baker include:

  1. Continuous learning: As a member, you will have access to a wealth of information, including tutorials, articles, and research studies. This allows you to deepen your understanding of sourdough and its associated techniques.
  2. Access to recipes: The Sourdough Club offers an extensive collection of recipes for various types of bread, pastries, and other baked goods. Members can experiment with new recipes and learn to incorporate sourdough into their daily meals.
  3. Supportive community: The Sourdough Club connects you with a community of like-minded bakers and enthusiasts. Through forums and group discussions, you can share your experiences, ask questions, and learn from others.
  4. Expert guidance: Members have the opportunity to interact with Vanessa and other sourdough experts through scheduled live sessions. These sessions provide a platform for direct communication, addressing questions or concerns related to sourdough baking.

By joining the Sourdough Club, home bakers can transform their passion for baking into a lifelong pursuit, continually expanding their knowledge and skills in the fascinating world of sourdough.
