Mature sour
A good mature sour is like the heart of an aromatic sourdough. In this course you will learn how to build your own leaven – step by step, from the first mature sour to a stable sourdough starter. With a little patience, care and knowledge, a basis for really good bread is created.
You will learn what you need for a vital and active mature sour and how to successfully refresh it over several days. An expert will show you clearly and understandably how you can achieve great results with just a few ingredients and a little finesse. You will also learn how to recognize the optimal timing and avoid mistakes early on.
Unlike ready-made starter cultures, your basic wheat leaven develops from scratch. It is individual, vibrant, and gives your baked goods their own unique touch. You will get to know genuine real baking culture.

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.Â
