The Sourdough School

BALM – Proven as one of the healthiest approaches to bread in the world.

Discover how Baking as Lifestyle Medicine can transform your gut and mental health—through bread. Based in the walled gardens of Dr. Vanessa Kimbell’s beautiful Victorian home in rural Northamptonshire, UK, we teach individuals, bakers, and healthcare professionals to bake Proven Bread. Developed by Dr. Kimbell—widely recognised as a global authority on bread and health—this functional nutrition approach uses nutrigenetics to personalise each loaf for optimal health.

A collection of sourdough formulas/recipes

All of our recipes are centred around our overall health and well being.

Healthy bread isn't just about the long, slow process of fermentation, but also about mindfulness and connection. And it isn't just about bread either.  These recipes help to nourish our microbiome, as well as deliver on flavour.
