by Toni

Another Win!

I've taken most of Teresa's Sourdough classes. Not only are the classes very well taught, the results have been consistently successful and she's extremely responsive to posted questions (a few hours or less). For a new baker these nuances add to my confidence and encourage me to explore new baking territory. I never considered baking bagels until Teresa published her latest video course. I don't think I'll ever purchase bagels again!

This course published Dec 2015

Who this course is for:
  • Anyone with a basic understanding of how to use a kitchen and bake should take this course.
  • Students who have never used sourdough before will be able understand how to use it by the end of the course and will have made their own sourdough starter.
