Sourdough Bread Making Workshop

Pick up some baking skills as you make a loaf of bread!



6 hours Location Kensal Rise Class size 1 to 6 guests   £180

Learn how to make sourdough bread from scratch in this London baking class.
This half-day class (6 hours) gives you the opportunity to gain a good understanding of the sourdough bread-making process and sourdough starter maintenance.
Truth be told, baking sourdough bread might seem overwhelming at first, but believe me, once you have the sourdough starter going and you make your first loaf, everything will seem much simpler.
During this workshop:
  • You will learn everything about how to maintain, and bake with your own sourdough starter
  • You will have the chance to go through the entire bread-making process together with me and ask all your questions
  • We will chat about the importance of the flours in the process
  • We will cover baker's language and the list of tools you might consider using
  • We will bake some loaves and also some focaccia to enjoy for lunch
Bonus! We will also be baking a focaccia dough and discussing the recipe and main differences to making bread.

Recent reviews of Sourdough Bread Making Workshop

  • 5/5 from Farshad, attended Apr 2026: I recently attended a sourdough bread-making workshop with Andra at her home, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. She was fantastic—warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. We spent over seven hours together, and she explained everything clearly for all levels. I was a complete beginner, while others were more experienced, but everyone came away having learned something valuable. At lunchtime, we enjoyed four delicious freshly baked breads made with high-quality ingredients—such a treat! Her home was also lovely and created a really welcoming atmosphere. I should also mention her husband, who supported her throughout the day and treated us to fantastic, aromatic coffee—such a thoughtful touch that made the experience even more enjoyable. I enjoyed every moment and learned so much, but more than anything, I left with the confidence to start baking on my own. You can see from my photos how proud I am of my first sourdough loaf, which she helped us prepare—and it was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend Andra to anyone interested in sourdough baking.
  • 5/5 from Mairin McMahon, attended Mar 2026: Fabulous class by Andra, I learnt so much about not just how to make bread but the chemistry behind sourdough, I had been so intimidated by bread making in the past but Andra explained so well how the process works I feel so confident in making my bread now!
  • 5/5 from Saman Gharatchorlou, attended Jan 2026: Andra is an excellent teacher - we learnt so much about baking sourdough as complete beginners and and have already been putting everything we've learnt into practise at home. Her home is beautiful and we were treated to a delicious lunch (with her own homemade breads) plus her husband makes excellent coffee. Hugely recommend - amazing experience!
  • 5/5 from Michelle Craft, attended May 2025: Andra is an astute sourdough baking teacher who held a well-balanced workshop. I enjoyed exploring new techniques and learning her tips. A small sized group was ideal because it allowed each student to ask questions. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
  • 5/5 from Amarjit K Grover, attended Apr 2025: See above my review
  • 5/5 from Jack Cole, attended Dec 2024: As someone who has never baked sourdough before this class was amazing. We covered a lot of information however by the time I had completed my first bake I felt full of confidence to move forward instead of being worried that I don’t have enough or the right amount of knowledge. Andra also helped lay out a plan to regularly bake and improve which was great. Money really well spent! Thanks Andra!
  • 5/5 from Thomas Rands, attended Nov 2024: Andra is a fantastic teacher, very clear, taking all the mystery and myths out of sourdough making. I’d thoroughly recommend this course, great fun and empowering! A lovely lunch includes the chance to try and talk about various breads!
  • 5/5 from Natasha, attended Jul 2024: Had such a great day learning all about sourdough with Andra. There were only 6 people in the class so she was able to get round to help everyone individually and answer all our questions. We also got all the tools (including a really strong starter) to take away and continue baking at home. Would definitely recommend this course!
  • 5/5 from Jaskirat Sangra, attended May 2024: I signed up for this class with absolutely no experience in sourdough bread baking, and now I’m baking a loaf of sourdough bread every week :)!! The class was wonderfully planned, Andra made sure all our questions were answered and at the end of the day I got to go home with a great bread to bake.
  • 5/5 from Amado Harake, attended Jan 2024: Andra received us in a very warm environment. She was a perfect host and a very inspiring tutor.

Hi!
I'm Andra, a self taught home baker, passionate about sourdough bread making.
My sourdough journey started by chance, when a friend of mine gave me some of her sourdough starter. I had no idea back then that making bread at home can be so addictive.
And here I am, 4 years later and more than a 1000 loaves, not only still baking, but also helping others get on the sourdough journey and improve their bakes.
My mission is to help as many of you understand the sourdough magic, how to maintain a happy sourdough starter and how to make great sourdough bread at home. With 275, 000 budding bakers following along on Instagram, I'm passionate about creating a community where we can share our love of great bread!
I strongly believe that everyone should have access to great bread, so let’s get together!
