Are you tired of
... starters that die after a week?
... wasting cups of flour on endless discards?
... ending up with dense, flat, lackluster bread?
... being overwhelmed by complicated methods, scales, and strict schedules?
... feeling unsure every time you try to bake?
I get it - I’ve been baking with sourdough for over 40 years,
and I’ve seen (and fixed) every starter flop, dense loaf, and frustrated baker along the way.

Anja has been baking with sourdough for over 40 years, carrying on the traditions she first learned in her German family kitchen.

FAQs:
- How long are the live sessions? They are scheduled to be about 1 hour long
- What if I can't make a session? No worries, you can get the replay inside the course within 24 hours.
- Is this worth it? Definitely. For less than the price of a few bakery loaves, you’ll gain lifelong sourdough skills - so you can bake delicious bread, rolls, and even sweet treats in your own kitchen anytime.
- Do I need special equipment? No, just the most basic kitchen items you already have on hand. You’ll also receive a list before each session with any tools or ingredients you’ll want ready, so there are no surprises.
-
Will I be able to ask questions? Yes! Each session includes live Q&A, and you’ll be able to get personal help directly from me. You can also submit your questions ahead of time (especially if you can't make the live session).
