Sourdough Bread Baking Class

Learn sourdough from scratch as your private instructor travels to you anywhere in San Diego!



3.5 hours Location Old Town Class size 1 to 3 (public classes), 4 to 5   $95 ($360 per class surcharge applies for private classes)

There is something deeply satisfying about pulling a golden, crackling sourdough loaf out of the oven and knowing you made it yourself! This hands-on sourdough making class brings the full experience right to you -- your home, your venue, your neighborhood -- with your instructor traveling within 15 miles of San Diego to make it happen. Whether you are planning a unique birthday party idea, looking for team building ideas that go beyond the usual, brainstorming bachelorette party ideas with a little more soul, or simply want to learn how to make sourdough bread from scratch, this class meets you exactly where you are.
You will move through the entire process together -- from choosing the right flour and mixing your dough, to kneading, stretching, folding, fermenting, shaping, scoring, and finally baking. You will learn why resting and fermentation times matter, how to know when your dough is truly ready, and how to achieve that gorgeous crust and soft, flavorful crumb that makes sourdough worth every minute.
All skill levels are welcome, and your instructor will guide you through each step with patience and plenty of encouragement. You will finish the class sharing a freshly baked loaf together -- the best kind of ending!

In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the session; if that happens, we'll inform you and let you choose between a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.

female Women-owned

I’m a great-granddaughter of a baker, and bread has been part of my family for over 100 years.
I grew up surrounded by bread and baking, and for more than 12 years I’ve been part of my family’s bakery, La Camelia, in Tijuana, Mexico.
Over the years, I’ve learned that great bread is not just about following a recipe—it’s about understanding the dough, fermentation, and learning to trust your hands.
I love teaching because I want people to discover that making beautiful, delicious bread at home is possible—and much more fun than they think!
Today, I’m excited to share my family’s baking tradition with you, combining generations of experience with what I’ve learned through years of hands-on work.
I also hold a Food Handler Certificate approved for San Diego County and California.
Come bake with me, and let’s make something delicious from flour, water, salt, and a little patience!
