Sourdough Bread Making for Beginners Class
About the Event
Come join us at Ryde for an exciting in-person event where you'll learn the art of baking sourdough bread from scratch!
Imagine this: It's Saturday morning. The incredible aroma of your own freshly baked sourdough bread fills your kitchen. You slice into a gorgeous, golden loaf, revealing a perfectly fluffy, open crumb. Your family gathers around, eager for a taste of your creation.
Sounds like a distant dream? Maybe you've scrolled past beautiful loaves online, felt intimidated by complex recipes, or even tried and ended up with a dense, disappointing result? You're busy – working 9-to-5, juggling life – and the idea of mastering sourdough feels overwhelming, like a skill reserved for artisans with endless time.
For 16 years, sourdough baking has been Hankerie's passion and craft. She has navigated the learning curves, uncovered the simple truths behind the 'magic', and perfected techniques that guarantee success, even for absolute beginners. She has condensed two decades of trial, error, and joy into one powerful, hands-on class designed specifically for busy people like you.
What you will learn:
Forget confusing jargon and endless steps! At Hankerie, we'll personally guide you through the essential secrets to sourdough success:
Learn the simple, sustainable rhythm of feeding and maintaining a vibrant, happy sourdough starter – the living heart of your bread – without it taking over your life.
Discover the gentle, effective techniques to handle your dough, building the perfect tension for that beautiful rise and airy texture you crave. No more flat loaves!
Learn basic, elegant scoring patterns that not only look beautiful but also guide your bread to bake perfectly.
Most importantly, we'll share a foolproof method for achieving that fluffy, tangy, flavourful sourdough loaf with a gorgeous crust, right in your own home oven, from your very first try!
Why spend months or years piecing together information online when you can unlock 16 years of distilled expertise in just one fun, supportive session? This isn't just a class; it's the key to confidently baking incredible bread for your family and filling your home with warmth and flavour.

Frequently asked questions
Answer questions your attendees may have about the event, like accessibility and amenities.
I'm a TOTAL beginner and honestly a little intimidated. Is this class really for me?
YES! Absolutely, 100%! This class was created with the absolute beginner in mind. We start from scratch, assuming zero prior experience. My passion is turning nervous beginners into confident bakers in just one session, sharing my 16 years of simplified techniques.
Sourdough seems like it takes FOREVER. I work 9-to-5, how can I possibly fit this in?
As someone who understands a busy schedule, I've specifically designed my methods to weave seamlessly into modern life. Forget being chained to your starter! I'll teach you the rhythm and techniques that require minimal 'active' time, fitting around your work & family commitment.
Will I actually learn to make that amazing, fluffy sourdough bread?
Our entire focus is on mastering the core techniques that lead DIRECTLY to that wonderfully tangy flavour, open, fluffy crumb, and gorgeous crust you're dreaming of. We'll cover starter vitality, handling dough with confidence, simple shaping, and my foolproof baking method.
Do I need loads of fancy, expensive equipment?
Not at all! I firmly believe amazing sourdough should be accessible to everyone. We'll be using standard kitchen equipment you likely already own. I’ll show you how to achieve fantastic results without breaking the bank on specialised gear.
What should I bring to the class?
Just bring your wonderful self, your curiosity, and your excitement to learn! We provide all ingredients and equipment needed for the class activities. A big Plastic tupperware is needed to bring back the Sourdough dough home to bake. An apron is handy if you have one, but totally optional.
Can I purchase the Sourdough Starter Tool Kit you mentioned?
Yes! As a special bonus for joining the class, you'll have the exclusive opportunity to purchase our curated Starter Tool Kit at a whopping 20% discount on the day. It includes key items to make continuing your sourdough journey at home even easier – but it's completely optional!
