I naturally talk slowly! There is an option to speed up the video in the player settings if that is your preference! :)

Hi there, my name is Sarah Grunewald and this is the Masterclass, How to Teach a Sourdough Workshop. I am a cottage baker in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, which simply means I fell in love with sourdough baking so much that I decided to turn it into a business. I bake and sell fresh sourdough out of my home weekly to my community. But selling bread is just one aspect of my business; the most profitable being teaching sourdough to others. In 2023, I made $15,000 by teaching people in my in-person workshops, and that was from severely undercharging. I'm thankful for that extra income, but I would have made so much more if I had something like this to instill confidence in myself and learn the do's and don'ts from the get-go.

That's why this workshop is perfect for you. You may be a beginner sourdough baker, intermediate, or pro, and people have asked you, to "please teach us", but you don't know where to start. There's pricing to think about, equipment, marketing, how to make a complex process basic, as well as time restraints. I've taught hundreds of people the skill of sourdough in my in-person workshops, but there was also a time when I was gearing up to teach my first class. I was wondering all these same things that you are, so I know exactly how you feel, and I'm here to tell you as we're here together, you're in the exact right place at the right time.

Throughout this workshop, we will cover everything you need to know to confidently teach your sourdough classes. Of course, I'll be giving you my own curriculum and teaching methods as an example, but I believe you are a creative being, and you have something special to bring to the table. So I'll also be giving you the tools to create your very own class from what you learn here today. We'll also dive into teaching methods to make sure your classes are truly unforgettable experiences. And you don't need to be the world's best sourdough baker or teacher to get there. One of the best parts about this workshop is that it's designed to be hands-on, with opportunities for you to develop, share, and refine your teaching materials.

And the best part? 

You'll be doing this alongside a community of fellow home bakers, providing support, community, and inspiration to each other along the way.

This workshop is designed to take you less than a weekend to finish. This is your journey from being a baker who loves sourdough to becoming a teacher who inspires others to start their sourdough journey. I don't think there's anything more special. Thank you for being here, and let's get started.
