My name is Georgie. I'm a passionate home baker and my true love is sourdough. I became a bit obsessive about taming the sourdough beast after the birth of my first baby, Magnolia. I've been baking sourdough for my local community for many years and have taught hundreds of people the timeless and joyful craft of sourdough. Over the years I've gone down all the rabbit holes and have come back up the other side with a pared-back process that works, and I'm glad to share it with you in this course. Baking real bread has helped me to nurture my family and connect with my community. I've baked thousands of loaves but I still get excited when they come out of the oven, bold, burnished and beautiful. There's just something special about real bread!
