About Somerset Sourdough

I started making sourdough during lockdown and haven’t looked back since. Attending other workshops on sourdough production inspired me to take the best parts from these and deliver an educational, entertaining and great value course for sourdough fans.

Learn to make fresh sourdough at home

Organic Sourdough

We only use organic flour, a carefully cultured starter, pure salt and filtered water.

Try Our Bread

The sessions run from mid-morning, over lunch and into mid-afternoon. We encourage guests to bring something to go with a few slices of our fresh sourdough for lunch.

Requests Accomodated

Where possible, we are happy to tailor aspects of the course to your needs. From accessibility requirements to variations on our recipes – we’re happy to help!

Learn to make brown sourdough

Brown

Our most popular loaves are a blend of organic white, brown and rye flour. Learn why wholegrain wheat and other flours are better for your health than plain white flour. 

Learn to make white sourdough at home

White

White sourdough loaves are visually stunning, light to eat, but less nutritious than other blends of flour. Learn how to make a variety of different sourdough recipes in one session.

Learn to make speciality sourdough yourself

Speciality

Variety is the spice of life, and so we talk through a range of additions you can make to your sourdough – from nuts and seeds, to olives and tomatoes – let your creativity flow!
