After various successes – and mostly failures – with my sourdough baking I bought Andra’s bread making guide.
It’s full of clear and concise advice and an extremely helpful and detailed schedule for baking. It has transformed my baking and each loaf has come out better than the previous one. I’m so thankful to Andra for creating this guide and sharing her expertise with this sourdough community. I can’t wait to continue learning!

This guide helped me soo much! Sourdrough feeding ration and timing, coil folds, bulk fermentation, problem solving, flour choosing, … (I could go on for hours)
My bakings are double as good now and I enjoy the process so so much!
Thank you for this, it’s worth every penny!

I purchased this sourdough bread guide yesterday and I just baked the best loaf I’ve made since I started about a year and a half ago!!! I’ve been having lots of issues with my loaves falling and raising poorly. But there is so much useful information in this guide and paired with Andras help on Instagram videos I am more confident in my sourdough bread baking abilities!

I’ve been baking sourdough for 2 years, but failing to bake a same day loaf. After buying Andra’s guide for sourdough, I finally managed to do a schedule for a same day bake and it looked amazing, very nice ear and very tasty. The structure of the material is very helpful for both beginners and more experienced bakers. I truly recommend it.

Very clear and detailed guide, helpful for beginners but also for advanced ones. I really enjoyed reading this guide because it gave me a new perspective to understand my sourdough’s behaviour and provided me with some useful advice on how to bake a perfect loaf. Thank you <3

Having recently purchased Andra’s books on sour dough and starters I have to say I would highly recommend to all bakers …for the ones just starting out and feel lost like I did or even the experienced ones. The books are packed with very useful information. Thank you very much for these amazing books and getting me started with my best foot forward on my sour dough journey.

I’ve purchased both the sourdough starter guide and this one, each are very detailed and helped me tremendously while trying sourdough for the first time. I’m certain I wouldn’t have had as much success without them. Cheers!

I bought Andra’s guide to help me learn more about the baking structure I should follow and also to correct issues such as a flat loaf, over hydration and others.
The guide was super helpful, well laid out and easy to follow. I found the planning template included very useful. My first loaf after following the guide had improved in terms of hydration, crumb structure and was easy to shape(still learning) it probably was a bit over proofed so my next attempt would be to correct that.
Andra is generous with her support and always responds to queries. Thank you Andra.

I’ve read so many books and watched lots of videos, but only this guide gave me structure and understanding of the baking process. It explains so many aspects of sourdough baking. You can really see years of experience. My bread is improving each time. This guide is just all you need to bake a perfect loaf. I can’t recommend it enough.

This guide helped me get as close to the loaf of my dreams as possible! It is perfect in terms of the information and not too overwhelming with unnecessary details. After a flop using another guide, I followed this one to the tee and there is no going back! Thank you!

After my first bake with this guide, I had a stunning loaf! I’ve purchased other guides before from other businesses, and after reading I was still confused and my loafs were coming out flat. I wasn’t even able to contact anyone for help! But, before I even bought Andra’s guide, she was so helpful over DMs. Very thankful for her response time!

This was so helpful – used it on my second ever bake and it turned out just as the guide said it would. Dug out my cast iron casserole to use as a dutch oven as suggested and it took all the faff out of getting a super loaf. And made it with a starter from scratch using the starter quide. I’ve now got so much more confidence. THANK YOU!!!

I already had some experience in baking sourdough bread, but was always missing the last 10%.
This guide helped me figure out the perfect timing, how to know when the fermentation is complete and how to troubleshoot.
Literally the first bake after purchasing the guide, my sourdough bread came out absolutely perfect.
Everyone who really wants to understand all aspects without being overwhelmed, but not just wants to follow a recipe should buy this guide.
Thank you also for providing this community and answering DM‘s! 🙂

Great guide! Easy to follow with tons of troubleshooting. It will open up an inner scientist in you and will give you a great and delicious loaf 🍞 as a result! Highly recommended! Anna (Canada).

This guide is wonderful. The instructions are simple and easy to follow. The recipe ends up being the perfect size for my family. The troubleshooting tips are fabulous when you first start out and you just have no real clue what you’re doing! My 7 year old daughter loves to read the guide to me, step by step, while I’m making the bread. I love that this will be something she and I can both go back to, over and over, always with a delicious loaf at the end!

After I bought this guide I baked the best loaf in my sourdough Journey!! I am a beginner and found this guide super helpful! Its easy to understand and has all the informations you need to bake wonderful sourdough bread. I would highly recomment this guide!
Fabienne (verified owner) –
I just love the sourdough guide and I highly recommend it to everyone who bakes. Even if you are not a newbie to baking sourdough bread, you will for sure find new insights and tipps that will help to improve. I messaged Andra on IG and I got support immediately with my question. Just go for it and learn from her instead of googling and get overwhelmed by all the different insights the internet has to offer. 💕💕

I just wanted to let you know that I do not regret purchasing your two guides. They are the best ! Very clear, efficient, and so helpful !
My first loaf is a success already !
The dough was a bit too fluffy and soft (I will put even less water next time), it was difficult to shape it but I made it to the end. 😅 (I baked it in a Dutch oven)
And it tastes amazing !!
Thank you for everything. And I love your Instagram. Can’t get enough of your reels and posts. Continue what you are doing, you are amazing !

I have been baking for 2 years now and while I’ve had some great successes, in the past 6 months I started having issues with my starter and my loaves. I have been following the IG account for a while and find the content very useful, so I decided to buy the guide. The guide is very helpful, clear and easy to follow. My baking has already improved dramatically and I’m thrilled with the support and advice I have received. Highly recommend!
