The Sourdough Club

Baking as Lifestyle Medicine Community

Twenty-five years ago, Dr Vanessa Kimbell noticed that the students she'd taught at The School needed a friendly hand once they got home — so she founded The Sourdough Club. We've since welcomed thousands of bakers worldwide. Here Vanessa and her alumni are beside you in live sessions and through our libraries of videos and recipes, whenever you'd like support or to make your sourdough your own.

Discard & Old Bread Recipes


No one like to throw things away. The recipes in this section are about using up discard, and old bread.  There are different levels of dicard, and week +  old starter is acidic and doesnt have much raising power. It is also necessary to build your starter to makes advanced bakes, with 2 or 3 builds over a a few days. So some of the recipes in here specify 1st build starter, for optimal results.
