Master the Art of Homemade Sourdough
Welcome to the Ask Charlie Sourdough Masterclass
Making sourdough at home might seem intimidating, but with my expert guidance, you’ll be baking beautiful, delicious loaves in no time! This Sourdough Masterclass simplifies the process, showing you how to create a foolproof sourdough starter and bake the perfect loaf—whether in a Dutch oven or a bread maker.
Why Sourdough?
There’s something truly special about homemade sourdough bread. It’s more than just a baking project—it’s a return to traditional, time-honoured methods that transform the simplest of ingredients into something nourishing, delicious, and deeply satisfying.
-
Better for Your Gut
Unlike commercial bread, which often contains additives and fast-rising yeast, sourdough undergoes a natural fermentation process. This breaks down gluten, making it easier to digest and kinder to your gut. Many people who struggle with regular bread find that they can enjoy sourdough with no discomfort!
-
Free from Unnecessary Additives
Supermarket bread is often packed with preservatives, stabilisers, and artificial enhancers to extend its shelf life. With sourdough, you know exactly what’s going into your loaf—just flour, water, and salt. No hidden nasties, just real food.
-
Unbeatable Flavour & Texture
There’s no comparison between a homemade sourdough loaf and store-bought bread. The slow fermentation process develops a deep, rich flavour, while the crust becomes irresistibly golden and crisp. The inside is light, airy, and chewy—the perfect balance.
-
Surprisingly Affordable
Think making sourdough is expensive? Think again! You can pick up everything you need from your local supermarket. Even high-quality flour is far cheaper than constantly buying artisan bread from bakeries. Once your starter is thriving, the cost of each loaf is minimal.
-
Endless Possibilities Beyond Bread
Once you’ve got the hang of sourdough, it’s not just about bread. Your starter can be used to make pizza dough, pancakes, biscuits, crumpets, and more! It’s a wonderful way to bring real, naturally fermented foods into your home.
-
A Process That Fits Around Your Life
One of the biggest myths about sourdough is that it’s time-consuming. But the reality? It works around your schedule. I truly believe Sourdough has to fit into your life! Once you know the method, it becomes second nature, and it’s easy to integrate into daily life.
With this masterclass, you’ll gain step-by-step instructions that take you from starter creation to baking your first golden-crusted loaf. And once your starter is active, the possibilities are endless—pizza dough, pancakes, biscuits, and more!
