Will I need to buy flour?

If you decide to participate in our research at The Sourdough School, we will cover all associated costs to ensure that there are no financial barriers to your participation. This includes the provision of all necessary baking ingredients and equipment.

Specifically, we will provide all the flour and sourdough starters you need to participate in any study, which will be handed over to you during the course at our school or posted to you. The total amount of flour can be up to 10 kg. Given this substantial amount, we ask that you ensure you have sufficient capacity to transport it home. If you are travelling to us by plane or train, you might want to consider bringing an empty suitcase for this purpose – or arrange postage with us before you attend.

If the study requires your attendance at the school, we will also cover your travel costs. Our commitment is to make your involvement in the study as convenient and seamless as possible, allowing you to focus on the fascinating process of baking and learning more about sourdough bread.

Please note that your participation in the study is entirely voluntary, and you are free to withdraw at any point should you choose to do so. We are here to provide any necessary support and answer any questions you may have throughout the study.
