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.

Classic recipes

These are our classic and master formulas

We highly recommend that you bake the boule recipes at least  7 times to get them right.  This is the number of times we know that it takes to get a rhythm and build your familiarity and confidence up with each recipe.

Please post your bake and the number on the forum.
