TL;DR: Join the bread-baking craze with the Achieve Sourdough Baking Mastery: Artisan Bread and Pastry course for $15.99, a 91% savings as of Aug. 18.
The coronavirus era will be remembered for many different things, one of which are all the new hobbies and habits we developed during this time. Exhibit A: baking sourdough bread. Why are these delicious loaves the talk of the town? Perhaps because they’re a fun and rewarding way to kill time and distract ourselves from impending doom. Or maybe just because sourdough is inherently photogenic for Instagram feeds. Regardless, you should definitely try it out for yourself.
If you’re a total noob when it comes to baking, you’ll want to sign up for this Achieve Sourdough Baking Mastery: Artisan Bread and Pastry Course before you get started. It’s taught by the owner of Yeastie Bois Bakery — an artisan bakery based in South Africa — and rated 4.4 out of 5 stars.
The course itself is just an hour long, but it’s jam-packed with content you can access 24/7. In the course, you’ll learn how to bake a sourdough starter completely from scratch. You’ll first learn the differences and advantages between various flour types and understand the best hygiene practices while baking before diving headfirst into your first sourdough experience. Once you’ve got the hang of the basics, you’ll learn multiple sourdough recipes for bagels, baguettes, croissants, and more.
Along with the course lectures, you’ll get access to a free e-book containing all recipe ingredients and instructions for quick and easy reference. All baking temperatures and measurements are provided in both metric and imperial units for your flexibility as well. It does practically everything except bake the bread for you. But since you get lifetime access, you can watch the lectures again and again until it comes naturally.
Regularly, this course is priced at $199, but you can sign up for just $15.99. Just remember: Instagram your loaf or it didn’t happen.
