About the Class

This is a professional sourdough bread class conducted in small batches to ensure individual attention and hands-on involvement. The class is structured for absolute beginners, while still being engaging and valuable for home bakers who want to refine their technique.

As a beginner sourdough bread workshop, the focus is on understanding how sourdough works, why it behaves the way it does, and how to approach it without complexity or intimidation.

What You Will Learn in the Workshop

This artisan sourdough bread baking class is designed around doing, observing, and understanding each step of the process. Students will learn:

The fundamentals of sourdough fermentation and natural leavening
How to mix, handle, and strengthen sourdough dough
Stretching, folding, shaping, and scoring techniques
How to read fermentation and proofing cues instead of relying on fixed timings
How to bake sourdough for good structure, crumb, and crust
How to make and maintain your own sourdough starter at home
Understanding different types of flour used for sourdough, including whole wheat and stone-ground flours commonly available in India
How flour choice affects fermentation, flavour, texture, and digestion
Baking a well-fermented loaf that is easier to digest and naturally lower on the glycemic index when compared to commercial bread

Students are introduced to the basics of working with a sourdough starter, including simple feeding routines and how starter health influences fermentation, flavour, and rise. The class also touches on how different flours affect dough behaviour, helping learners build intuition.

The workshop introduces the role of different flours as well, giving learners a practical foundation similar to a wholegrain sourdough baking workshop, without making the process complicated.

Learning Environment at Celesteyum Academy

The class is conducted at Celesteyum Academy’s professional kitchen in Bangalore. This homemade sourdough bread course is taught using industry-grade equipment, while ensuring that techniques can be easily replicated in a home kitchen.

The learning environment encourages questions, experimentation, and hands-on practice throughout the day. The setup also helps students assess whether they are comfortable working on larger, more detailed baking projects, which is often a key consideration when moving beyond sourdough breads into all breads.

Who This Class Is For

This sourdough bread masterclass is suitable for:

  • Beginners with no prior sourdough experience
  • Home bakers looking to improve consistency
  • Baking enthusiasts passionately interested in artisan bread
  • Learners exploring baking as a potential long-term pursuit

This class works well for learners who want a clear introduction to fermentation, starter care, and natural leavening, making it a useful sourdough starter and bread making class for beginners building confidence from scratch. No prior professional training is required.

How This Class Fits into a Larger Baking Journey

This workshop works well as a standalone learning experience and also as an entry point into structured baking education such as a wholegrain sourdough baking workshop or more advanced bread programs. Many students use short-format classes like this to understand fermentation fundamentals before exploring more advanced training.
At Celesteyum Academy, concepts taught in this class connect naturally with broader pastry and bakery programs for those who wish to continue learning.
