The Sourdough Club

A social enterprise where a community of bakers gather and share knowledge

Our small club is run from The Sourdough School and is the alternative way to learn if you cannot attend a course in person. Learn from Dr Vanessa Kimbell how to make the healthiest bread in the world and improve digestion, boost your mood, and connect with a supportive community that’s passionate about baking for better health.

Managing expectations

Learning Objective

In this lesson, you will find out how you can manage your expectations for that first loaf and how you can reassess those expectations throughout your baking journey. It will encourage you to find joy in the baking process regardless of the outcome, and to learn from your mistakes in order to become a better baker.

Learning Outcome

You will be able to manage your expectations along your sourdough baking journey, so that you can become a more confident baker.

It can take about a year of baking before you really rock out an amazing loaf instinctively. That is one of the reasons why we designed the Sourdough Club to be an annual subscription. It takes time to get to know your flour and your kitchen and understand your starter. This lesson will help you manage your expectations throughout your sourdough baking journey.
