Sound familiar?


Maybe your starter died. Maybe your bread came out dense as a brick. Maybe you felt guilty pouring flour down the drain every single day, or you gave up because the advice online kept contradicting itself.

You're not alone, and it's not your fault. Most sourdough methods are built around daily feedings, discards and a kitchen scale. That's a lot of work for a loaf of bread.

There's a simpler way


I grew up in Germany, where sourdough was part of everyday life in my family for generations. My mother and my grandma taught me their simple, stress-free way with sourdough: no scale, no daily feedings, no discard.

That's the method I teach in this course:

Make a starter from a few simple ingredients, with no daily feedings or discard.
Keep it resting until you're ready to bake, so sourdough fits your life instead of running it.
Wake it up when you want to bake, then save a little for next time.


If my grandma could do it in her kitchen, you can do it in yours.

What bakers are saying


“I’m so excited! I just baked my first sourdough loaf from the online course :). I’m confident we’ll gobble this up before the day is done.”

– Sakula R., course student


“I’ve been able to make bread and other things… a round loaf, loaf pan loaves, Irish baking soda bread and I’ve made cinnamon rolls in my cast iron pan (can I say yummy!). Had some issues… but Anja helped me through that. I am loving the journey and glad I started.”

– Tammy L., course student


“I’m on day 61 with my first ever and original starter with your method and not a single issue!”

– Nora K., student group member


“This is exactly how my grandfather did his sourdough starter! He was born in 1895, came to the US from Germany, and was a master baker… his starter was always in a glass jar and either in the refrigerator or the coolest place he could find in the house. Oh, the memories!”

– YouTube viewer


“The ONLY reason I haven’t continued making sourdough is because of the daily maintenance. I felt SO guilty throwing out perfectly good product. This gives me new inspiration to bake sourdough bread again. ❤️”

FAQs


• Does this course work for complete beginners?
Yes! I walk you through the whole process step by step, with video lessons and printables you can keep in your kitchen.


• I’ve tried to make a starter before and it failed every time. Will this work for me?
I hear this a lot, and it’s usually the method, not you. Most methods depend on exact feedings, discards and timing, and mine doesn’t. I’ll show you exactly what your starter should look like at each stage.


• Do I need a kitchen scale?
No. My method doesn’t need a scale, a strict schedule or any special equipment.


• I already have a starter. Will I still learn something new?
I think so! You’ll learn how to keep your starter without daily feedings or discard and how to bake on your own schedule, and you can swap ideas with other students in the private Facebook group.


• What if I get stuck?
Post your question in the private Facebook group. I check in regularly and answer questions myself.


• How long do I have access?
How does “forever” sound? You get lifetime access, including anything new I add to the course.


• What if the course isn’t right for me?
Email me within 7 days of your purchase and I’ll give you a full refund.

Hi, I’m Anja


My sourdough story began in Stuttgart, Germany, where fresh bread was part of every day. My mother and my grandma taught me their simple, stress-free way of baking, and I’ve been baking for more than 45 years.


Today I share that method from my kitchen at Our Gabled Home, so you can bring real, homemade bread to your own table, without the stress, waste and confusion that make so many people give up.


My goal isn’t just to teach you a recipe. It’s to help you feel the joy of making something nourishing for the people you love, the way my family always did.


My 7-day promise



Try the course. If it isn’t right for you, email me within 7 days of your purchase and I’ll give you a full refund. No hard feelings.
