Why This Guide Is Different
Many traditional sourdough methods are:
• Too time-consuming
• Too technical
• Too wasteful for home baking
This guide offers a modern, simplified approach to traditional sourdough — without shortcuts, commercial yeast, or ultra-processed flour.
It focuses on:
• Certified organic ingredients
• Wholesome, high-extraction flour
• Minimal waste starter care
• Efficient use of time
• Understanding the dough, not rushing it
Only around two hours of hands-on time are needed, while fermentation continues naturally in the background.

Who This Guide Is For
• Home bakers wanting consistency and clarity
• Busy people who still value real food
• Anyone new to sourdough who feels overwhelmed
• Bakers wanting a reliable reference they can return to
No class is required to use this guide — it works perfectly on its own and also complements our in-person workshops.
A Note on Ingredients
This method is built specifically for The Sourdough Science Academy flours.
In particular:
• Light Rye Sourdough Bread Academy Mix
• Feeding Flour used for starter maintenance
These blends have been developed to work seamlessly with this method, supporting fermentation, structure, flavour, and ease of use for home bakers.
For best and most consistent results, we recommend using the Academy flours and products, which are available in our online shop.
