About Our Sourdough Bread Class in Bangalore

Our Sourdough Bread Class in Bangalore is a one-day, fully hands-on course designed for beginners who want to understand sourdough from the fundamentals. Learners are introduced to the key principles behind sourdough starter, natural fermentation, dough handling, proofing, shaping and baking so they can approach naturally fermented bread with greater clarity and confidence.

Conducted at Celesteyum Academy in Whitefield, Bangalore, the class combines guided demonstrations with practical participation. Instead of relying only on online trial and error, learners work through the sourdough process in a structured classroom environment and understand how fermentation, timing and dough behaviour influence the final loaf.

The Sourdough Bread course is conducted in small batches to support individual attention and hands-on involvement. It is suitable for complete beginners as well as home bakers who want to improve their understanding of sourdough techniques and develop a more consistent approach to bread making.

A major focus of the class is understanding why sourdough behaves differently at each stage rather than simply following a recipe. Learners who experience problems such as weak fermentation or poor rise can also read our guide on why sourdough bread isn’t rising and how to fix it.
