Sourdough Class for Beginners

Learn how to start your sourdough at home at this bread making class in London!



5 hours Location Marylebone Class size 1 to 9 (public classes), 5 to 8   £150

In this hands-on cookery class in London, you will learn about the science and benefits of sourdough bread. You’ll create a sourdough starter and explore the ingredients, mixing, and kneading techniques, first and second rises, and the shaping and scoring.
You don't need any experience to join. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to troubleshoot your current sourdough making process, this class is for you!
What to expect:
  • A loaf will be provided to score and bake, which will be enjoyed at lunch, and then we’ll start the process again.
  • The first part of the class will be theoretical, exploring flours, their properties, how to choose the right one for the right bake, and then we’ll move onto the practical, so that you’ll see the steps more than once.
  • There will be a light lunch, and the class will end with everyone bringing home a loaf ready to score and bake later that evening or the next day.
You'll take away a finished loaf to bake, plus a goody bag and handy new skills to perfect your future sourdough loaves.

Recent reviews of Sourdough Class for Beginners

  • 5/5 from Matthew P Ripley, attended Nov 2025: Amazing class with Sofia, which felt like I’d escaped to a quaint small Italian kitchen. The content was crafted to tailor everyone’s needs with theory, history and love. I can’t wait to go to another class hosted by them!
  • 5/5 from Candice Speckman, attended Nov 2025: This was such a special experience. The class was small, so each participant received individual attention. Sofia explained the steps clearly and allowed for questions and discussion. We followed the steps one by one, so that we had many examples for each step in the preparation of the dough. I also liked the story behind the starter that we were given. It felt as though Sofia had given us a personal gift from her home and family. This course was good value for money and a lovely experience. I would highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Cock, attended Nov 2025: Excellent class with a great mix of theory and practical - Sofia is a wonderful teacher and is clearly so passionate about Sourdough. The lunch was delicious and the goodie bag such a lovely extra!
  • 5/5 from Harry Ogden, attended Nov 2025: Sofia was excellent and the class was entertaining and really informative. Lovely sit down lunch with the group and very nice quality bag of starter kit and equipment. Really fun activity.
