Not Ready for a $200 Workshop? Here’s the Perfect Entry Into Sourdough (Only $39!)

A Gentle Invitation into the World of Sourdough

So, you’ve heard all the buzz about sourdough—how it’s easier to digest, better for your gut, and actually tastes like real bread. But when you look around, every “beginner” class is a whopping $200+. For many, that’s just not realistic.

You’re not alone. And we get it.

That’s exactly why The Sourdough Science Academy has launched something new—and genuinely exciting—for people just like you.

The $200 Dilemma – Not Everyone Can Start Big

Let’s face it, starting anything new—especially something as seemingly complex as sourdough—can feel like trying to climb a mountain with slippers on. And when the price tag starts at $200, the whole idea quickly gets tossed aside.

But sourdough shouldn’t be exclusive. It should be accessible.

Why This Matters for Your Health

The real tragedy? You're missing out on a food that could actually help your gut health, especially if you're gluten-sensitive. Roberto Giammellucca, founder of The Sourdough Science Academy, believes that the secret to healing starts with what we ferment.

Meet The Sourdough Science Academy

Based in Coomera and reaching from Gold Coast to Brisbane, The Sourdough Science Academy is more than just a cooking school—it’s a movement.

Roberto’s Mission – One Million Aussies & Better Gut Health

Since founding the academy in 2021, Roberto has committed himself to one bold mission: educate one million Australians about the power of organic sourdough and gut-friendly fermentation and this new class? It’s a major milestone in that mission.

From Coomera to Your Kitchen

With weekend workshops, private events, online courses and a store packed with organic ingredients, Roberto’s approach is both professional and personal.

A Trusted Name Backed by 5-Star Reviews

Hundreds have praised The Sourdough Science Academy for its friendly, educational, and heartfelt classes—and this new low-cost option keeps that spirit alive.

What is the Community Sourdough Starter Class?

Think of it as your golden ticket into the sourdough world. This isn’t just another cooking class—it’s an experience, designed for total beginners.

A Monthly Event with a Purpose

Held every 3rd Wednesday of the month from 9:45–11:45am at the Helensvale Cultural Centre, this class is a hands-on introduction that’s warm, welcoming, and seriously fun.

Taught by an Authentic Italian Chef

Roberto brings not just experience, but passion. Raised in Italy and trained in traditional methods, he makes fermentation feel like second nature.

Only $39 ($29 for Students/Concession)—and You Get It Back

Yes, you read that right. Every ticket comes with a $39 credit toward our premium Hands-On Sourdough Bread Workshop—so the class is essentially free!

What You’ll Learn in This Hands-On Sourdough Class

Creating Your Own Starter from Scratch

You’ll learn to make and care for your very own sourdough starter using organic flour. No frills. No nonsense. Just flour, water, and fermentation.

Now Available with Organic Gluten-Free Flour

Prefer gluten-free? We've got you covered. For just $5 extra, you’ll receive organic gluten-free flour and all instructions tailored to a GF sourdough starter.

Understanding the Magic of Fermentation

Why does fermentation help reduce gluten? How does it support your gut? Roberto answers it all with science-backed insights you’ll actually understand.

Organic Ingredients & Ancient Grains

Healthier bread starts with better flour. You’ll use only organic grains that are kinder to your system and easier to digest.

Roberto’s No-Daily-Feeding Method

One of the biggest turn-offs for beginners? The daily feeding. But Roberto’s unique method eliminates that burden, making the starter more manageable—and realistic—for real life.

Why This Class Is Different from Other Sourdough Workshops

It’s Community-Driven and Affordable

No gatekeeping. No big investment. Just a genuine desire to help people bake better and feel better.

Practical, Simple and Non-Overwhelming

You don’t need a science degree or a fancy kitchen. If you can stir, you can sourdough.

No Overpriced Tools or Equipment Needed

Bring a jar. That’s it. You’ll leave with your very own sourdough starter and the know-how to grow it at home.

The Health Benefits of Sourdough – More Than Just Bread

How Fermentation Reduces Gluten

Long fermentation breaks down gluten proteins, making bread easier to digest—even for those who struggle with regular bread.

Gut Health, Digestion and Immunity

Good bread = good bugs for your belly. It’s that simple. Sourdough supports a healthy microbiome, which in turn supports overall wellness.

A Pathway to Gluten Tolerance

Many people who’ve sworn off gluten have found they can enjoy long-fermented sourdough without the bloating or brain fog. Could this be your breakthrough?

How This Class Supports Community Wellbeing

Building Confidence in the Kitchen

There’s something empowering about making your own food—especially something that’s traditionally seen as “too hard.”

Connecting with Like-Minded Locals

You’re not just joining a class. You’re joining a community. Share stories, swap tips, and maybe even trade loaves!

Creating Sustainable Food Habits

Learn once, bake for life. Sourdough is more than a trend—it’s a lifestyle.

Optional Kits and Online Support

Need extra help? Our online shop is stocked with optional starter kits, organic flour, and fermentation tools to keep you on track after class.
