The Sourdough Science Academy

I’ve always made my pizza bases from scratch but wanted to take them to another level by trying Sourdough. I’m so glad I took the class! Roberto’s class is very informative, so much fun, well organised and easy to follow and understand.Even if you’re not a cook or love to cook you’ll have a great time. I had so much fun, Thankyou for a great morning.

Roberto’s sourdough pizza class is absolutely fabulous! Not only do you get to make and eat amazing pizza, Roberto is a fabulous teacher and his passion for Italian cuisine and produce is felt throughout the whole class. From Italian music, to imported Italien produce - this class makes you feel like you are in Italy! Roberto made everyone feel good and by the end of the class we all felt as though we were all friends. 5 stars and I’ll be back for the sourdough bread class!

Roberto's Sourdough bread making class was absolutely fantastic! My daughter and me learned so much and we can't wait to start baking our own Sourdough bread. Thank you for a fantastic workshop! We thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely worth every dollar.

Roberto is so wonderful. My group really loved his class. I’ve been making sourdough every week since and loving it! Thank you for a fun way to learn :)

I have given Roberto five stars as the video clips of the demonstration and course materials were very informative.. Roberto explained in great length the tips and tricks of how to start a starter and how to bake the the sourdough bread.. Thank you Roberto am looking forward to learning more from you!!

Chef Roberto's teaching style is both engaging and captivating. He ensures each student understands the material and even provides post-workshop support to answer any lingering questions or concerns. His infectious enthusiasm for sourdough is the secret ingredient that turns an already fantastic workshop into an unforgettable experience.What sets this academy apart, though, is the scientific perspective it brings to the art of sourdough making. It's not just about mixing ingredients and kneading the dough. It's an in-depth exploration of fermentation processes, the role of wild yeast, hydration levels, and the importance of temperature and time—all the integral elements that breathe life into a loaf of sourdough.In short, the Sourdough Science Academy offers a wonderful blend of theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and culinary artistry. It's not just a baking class—it's a holistic journey into the soul of sourdough bread. Whether you're a seasoned baker looking to refine your skills or a beginner seeking a solid foundation, this is the place to be.

The online course is great. Short videos explaining step by step, how to do in digestible bite sized slices. Roberto is very professional and approachable, happy to answer questions and help trouble shooting. He is passionate about sour dough and its health advantages and wants to inspire his students with this passion. This is very easy once you have tried it, you will never go back to the disappointment that is commercial bread.

Roberto cannot be faulted - he's such a nice guy and full of enthusiasm. I found the course to be fun, but some of the key information was difficult to understand and in my opinion there wasn't enough material provided during the course to better understand it. (The recipe card itself needed updating.) However, I fully recommend others to take the course - just be prepared to ask lots of questions!

I did the pizza making workshop with my ten year old son and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Roberto makes the process easy to follow and you get to eat the delicious pizza at the end. The class size was nice and intimate too.We have come away with everything we need to make amazing pizza for our friends.
