The Art and Science of Baking Sourdough to Support Health

It’s about more than bread—it’s about baking with purpose, a delicious stand for the world we want. Baking long, slow-fermented bread is a quiet, beautiful resistance to the globalisation of our bread. Crafting artisan loaves with ingredients to bring our communities together is activism that supports mental well-being and nourishes those we love.

Learn more from Baker, Dr Vanessa Kimbell, as she inspires a slower, more nourishing approach to baking, with thoughtful recipes, nutritional insights, and artisan knowledge that will transform the way you bake, eat, and share bread.

SWEET SOURDOUGH BOOK GIVEAWAY

The Sweet Sourdough Book Giveaway

PLEASE NOTE: THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED

We are excited to be giving away two signed copies of Vanessa’s fourth book The Sourdough School Sweet Baking: Nourishing the Gut & the Mind worth £24.99. It is an indispensable guide to exploring the techniques and ingredients involved in successful sweet sourdough baking. A companion to the bestselling The Sourdough School, it focuses on sweet recipes that are gut-friendly and rely on natural sweetness and natural sugars where possible.

Classic recipes and new ideas for flavour combinations, offer bakers an alternative method of baking cakes, tarts, pancakes, doughnuts, panettones, pretzels – nothing is off limits. If it rises, it can be made with sourdough.

Also featured are recipes for natural compotes and syrups to accompany your bakes.

Vanessa also explains how sourdough helps to maintain the health and diversity of your gut microbiome, which in turn has been shown to improve not just our overall health and well-being but also our mental health. New studies are unveiling links between the microorganisms in our gut and our mood and behaviour, and Vanessa is at the forefront of this research.
