Come join us at Ryde for an exciting in-person event where you'll learn the art of baking sourdough bread from scratch!Imagine this: It's Saturday morning. The incredible aroma of your own freshly baked sourdough bread fills your kitchen. You slice into a gorgeous, golden loaf, revealing a perfectly fluffy, open crumb. Your family gathers around, eager for a taste of your creation.Sounds like a distant dream? Maybe you've scrolled past beautiful loaves online, felt intimidated by complex recipes, or even tried and ended up with a dense, disappointing result? You're busy – working 9-to-5, juggling life – and the idea of mastering sourdough feels overwhelming, like a skill reserved for artisans with endless time.For 16 years, sourdough baking has been Hankerie's passion and craft. She has navigated the learning curves, uncovered the simple truths behind the 'magic', and perfected techniques that guarantee success, even for absolute beginners. She has condensed two decades of trial, error, and joy into one powerful, hands-on class designed specifically for busy people like you.What you will learn:Forget confusing jargon and endless steps! At Hankerie, we'll personally guide you through the essential secrets to sourdough success:
- Learn the simple, sustainable rhythm of feeding and maintaining a vibrant, happy sourdough starter – the living heart of your bread – without it taking over your life.
- Discover the gentle, effective techniques to handle your dough, building the perfect tension for that beautiful rise and airy texture you crave. No more flat loaves!
- Learn basic, elegant scoring patterns that not only look beautiful but also guide your bread to bake perfectly.
- Most importantly, we'll share a foolproof method for achieving that fluffy, tangy, flavourful sourdough loaf with a gorgeous crust, right in your own home oven, from your very first try!

Your teacher
Driven by a 20-year passion for the art of home baking, Hankerie is more than just a cooking school—it is a legacy built on the belief that anyone can create professional-grade food in their own kitchen. Founded by a dedicated food blogger and award-winning baker, we specialise in teaching the delicate balance of sourdough, cookies, and cakes to those who, like us, balance a busy 9-to-5 career with a love for artisanal food.Our journey is rooted in deep expertise. Our founder’s culinary credentials include being the 1st Runner Up in the ASEAN Food Channel Cook-Off and being featured on national Malaysian TV (NTV7) for her creative mastery of decorated Swiss Rolls. At the heart of our bread-making classes is a 15-year-old sourdough starter, a living piece of culinary culture that has been nurtured daily for over a decade.At Hankerie, we understand that your time is your most precious ingredient. Because our founder also manages a corporate 9-to-5, our curriculum is specifically designed for the "working baker." We don't just teach recipes; we teach lifestyle integration. We break down complex sourdough fermentation, the science of the perfect cookie, and the aesthetics of cake decoration into manageable, stress-free steps that fit into your work week.Whether you are looking to master the deep satisfaction of a crusty sourdough loaf or want to recreate the award-winning techniques seen on TV, our Sydney-based classes provide the core skills and confidence to bake for your loved ones. Join us to discover how 20 years of blogging, competing, and nurturing a culture can be distilled into a single, joyful afternoon of learning.
