Puratos’ sourdough library is a kind of Noah’s Ark for living baking cultures and plays a central role in protecting and researching the world’s bread diversity. With entry no. 75 – the Helvetia wheat sourdough – Switzerland also makes a special contribution to this culinary treasury.
You will learn how to actively maintain and use a sourdough. An expert will guide you through all steps – from leavening to pH values and optimal baking maturity. This also includes clean processing, cutting and proper oven technology.
This course requires a wheat sourdough with leavening capacity. If you do not already have a mature sour or sourdough starter available, we recommend the courses «Mature sour» and «Sourdough starter» as excellent preparation.

I love working with dough, especially sourdough. The long-leavened doughs fascinate me because they require patience but reward with great aroma and character. I also really enjoy the precise art of laminating croissants. My favorite? Quite simply: sourdough croissants. A major highlight for me was passing the professional exams in 2020 – and even coming top of my class. In the online courses, I want to share my love of the craft with you and show you that you can continue baking with confidence and a newfound enthusiasm.
