Sourdough Baking Classes in London

Fifteen years ago, I fell in love with sourdough, and I have been baking ever since. No bought bread in my house ever! My mission is to make you a sourdough baker as good as I am. My classes are small and hands-on. We learn, but we also have fun. They are perfect for acquiring new baking skills or for perfecting existing ones.

People book my classes as gifts, as private events for family celebrations or for corporate happenings. I can come to a venue of your choice. Can't wait to meet you!

An excellent teaching session, it was informative and fun and I came away, not only with the makings of two excellent loaves with anothe starter. My next baking efforts have undergone a considerable improvement, for which my husband and family are both truly grateful. I will definately consider another class next year.

"Loved it! The class was great fun, informative, easy to follow and practical. We went home with enough dough for two beautiful sourdough loaves and some starter to keep us baking for the foreseeable future. I am doing another course with Michela in a couple of weeks." - Anna

"Michela might be a bread lover's best kept secret. You could do the fancy, expensive workshops at the big brands, or you could be welcomed into Michela's home for a truly informative, engaging and personal experience. I walked away as a complete novice with so much knowledge. Only four of us in total, so really friendly and hands on. Absolutely outstanding." - Thomasin

"I really enjoyed Michela's sourdough foundation class. Very hands-on, with clear explanations at every stage. What I particularly liked was the individual attention everyone received. Fun, informative, and I went home with a lot of tasty bread and dough to bake at home." - Steve
