Welcome to The Sourdough Code, your gateway to mastering the art of artisan sourdough baking! Established in July 2024, we have been dedicated to spreading the joy and skills of homemade bread-making across Samford and Wilston. Our mission is simple: to transform every home kitchen into a bakery where magic happens daily.
At The Sourdough Code, we are advocates of making rather than buying. We believe that anyone can learn to bake their own bread—a belief that fuels our passion to teach. Sourdough isn't just bread; it’s an experience that encompasses tradition, patience, and artisan skill. More importantly, it represents a move towards healthier eating. Sourdough is naturally fermented, making it more digestible, lower in gluten, and richer in flavour than average breads. It’s not just food; it's nourishment for both body and soul.
We offer comprehensive workshops that are perfect for beginners and seasoned bakers alike. Whether you’re a busy parent looking for healthier options or a food enthusiast eager to elevate your culinary skills, The Sourdough Code is committed to making authentic sourdough baking accessible, enjoyable, and deeply rewarding. Join us to discover how fulfilling the journey from flour to crusty loaf can be.
