The Sourdough Science Academy is in Goldcoast



 “I didn’t have any idea about the process… and my first two loaves have been awesome!” – Jess Dobbie

That’s the kind of joy I live for.
Jess came in as a total beginner…
Now she’s baking at home and already ordering her Dutch oven to perfect her loaves.
This is what happens when you mix a hands-on class with the right guidance (and good company).
Want to experience it too?
My next class is June 7 at Tamborine Mountain — and you’ll get $20 off any June class.
PROMO code: JUNE12 (use at checkout)
We bake, we eat, we sip wine… and you leave with sourdough magic in your hands.

Why Do So Many Beginners Struggle With Starters, and How One Simple Method Fixes It

Image
Most people meet their first sourdough starter the same way they meet a houseplant they weren’t ready for. They’re excited. They’re hopeful. They’re sure a little flour and water can’t be that complicated. Then, almost overnight, they’re googling things like “Is this black stuff normal?” or “Why does mine smell like old socks?” or “Did I kill it?” If you’ve had that moment, you’re not alone. I see it every week inside The Sourdough Science Academy here in Queensland. Beginners arrive at my workshops clutching jars, each one holding a starter in some stage of existential crisis. Some are flat and lifeless. Some are bubbling but inconsistent. Some smell fine but refuse to rise. A few are so neglected that the starter and the jar seem to have formed a long-term relationship. And yet, in the same room, during the same session, these same people create a fresh starter that behaves exactly the way a healthy culture should.   No drama. No daily feeding. No complicated rituals. No co...
