Why Learn Sourdough at Celesteyum Academy?

Sourdough is highly dependent on fermentation, temperature, dough condition and timing. Classroom training gives learners the opportunity to observe these changes directly and receive guidance while working through the process.

Demonstration Before Practice

Guided Dough Handling

Learn how dough should feel and respond during mixing, folding, fermentation, shaping and proofing.

Practical Feedback

Receive guidance while working through key stages instead of discovering problems only after the loaf is baked.

Understand the Process

Build the judgement needed to respond to fermentation and dough behaviour rather than depending only on fixed timings.
