Sourdough Bread Baking 101

Teresa Greenway's introductory sourdough course follows the process from a starter through mixing, handling, shaping, and baking. It is useful for a new baker who needs to see how dough behaves rather than relying entirely on a written recipe. The sequence makes the waiting and handling stages part of the method instead of treating them as empty time.

What you will learn

• Understand introductory sourdough starter care
• Practice dough mixing and folding
• Recognize shaping and proofing stages
• Plan the baking process for a first loaf

Who this suits

Suitable for a beginner with access to a kitchen and the required ingredients and equipment. Read the preparation requirements before beginning. Plan the process across the necessary hours or days, since a short video runtime does not describe the fermentation time needed for a loaf.

Before you enroll

Dough behavior changes with temperature, flour, hydration, and starter activity. Use the demonstrations to learn what to observe instead of assuming that a timer will produce the same result in every kitchen. Work carefully around a hot oven and any steam used during baking.

This is a paid Udemy course. Check current access and certificate terms; ingredients, a starter, and baking equipment are separate.

Put it into practice

Keep a first-loaf log with temperature, timing, handling observations, and one change you would test in the next bake.
