We advise all our sourdough course users to start here, at the beginning and really get to know the fundamentals of your loaf. We are asked all the time why does my sourdough loaf look flat? Is sourdough bread healthy? In this core knowledge section, we really delve into everything you will ever need to know about the theory behind sourdough bread baking. These lessons aren't the same as our practical guides but they will help you to understand the process that will make your bread rise, taste delicious and offer you all the health benefits that sourdough is known for.

If you've eagerly raced ahead and started on the practical sourdough course lessons, then you may find that it doesn't turn out quite the way you expected at first. If that is the case, then everything you need to know to explain why that may have happened, whether you haven't achieved a DDT, or quite got to grips with your fermentation controls, or bassinage, then look no further. All will be explained in this comprehensive set of videos.
