Grow Your Own Starter From Scratch — A Beginner Sourdough Guide

So you want to try sourdough… but you’re not sure where to begin?
You’re not alone — and you’re in the right place.

Building a sourdough starter from scratch can feel overwhelming when you’re staring at search results, Reddit threads, and conflicting advice. That’s exactly why I created this guide — to give you a clear, calm, step-by-step path that actually works in a real kitchen.

What’s Inside the Course:

In this downloadable 10-day guide, you’ll get:

  • A daily feeding schedule with visual and behavioral cues

  • Real progress photos (from my own starter!) to guide you

  • A printable tracker to help you stay consistent

  • Troubleshooting tips and encouragement when things don’t go “by the book”

  • Signs to look for before your starter is ready to bake

Why I Made This

I’ve been baking sourdough for years, and helping others grow their own starter has become one of my favorite things to do. I’ve already done the research, testing, and tweaking — so you don’t have to waste time wondering what’s working.

This isn’t a science experiment — it’s a relationship with a living culture that will power your bread, pancakes, cookies, muffins, and more.

How It Works

Once purchased, you’ll instantly receive a downloadable PDF containing the full course. There’s no schedule to follow or approvals to wait for — it’s yours to keep, revisit, and bake with anytime.
