Written by the company

The place where internationally acclaimed sourdough baker, best seller book author, online course creator and bread artist Anita Šumer shares with you how sourdough baking can be simplified for your busy life. Enter the world of fermented baked goods and fall in love with sourdough. So we can bake the world a better place together. But beware you might catch the sourdoughmania bug and then there's no turning back, you'll bake and bake and bake. You can find Anita's story here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV0Z6Ky5--s It all started out of love and everything continues out of love too. Anita first came into contact with the most natural way to bake bread - the sourdough starter when her belated husband had his gallbladder removed, and couldn't eat yeasted bread anymore. She immediately fell in love with sourdough, and found her mission to spread her passion across the globe so as many people as possible can bake better bread and other fermented treats. Anita has been baking exclusively with sourdough since 2012, in 2016 she became one of the first ambassadors of the Quest for Sourdough Initiative, started posting on Instagram @sourdough_mania where her pictures and videos turned viral by Business Insider, Daily Mail, Unilad, Bored Panda, Martha Stewart.

Great class! Anita really demystifies the sourdough process..

The videos are super helpful. I watched them several times through as I was creating my sourdough batards and boules to ensure that I learned the techniques correctly.

Anita provides the student with not only the how of sourdough baking but the why of each step. I believe including the reason for each step helps the student retain the information when attempting to recall the steps by memory after practicing the steps with the videos.

It would be helpful to also include a written instruction (even a transcript) of the videos to make it easier on the student to try out the techniques without relying on the visual guide.

I loved the class and look forward to many more weekends / days of baking sourdough for my loved ones.

Hi dear De,

So happy you love the course! And I'm sure you'll enjoy baking in the future even more.

We will add the transcripts during the summer, many thanks for pointing it out. The videos are however super short, so they don't take much of your time.

If you need more help, I'm here to support you also in the SourdoughMania Family.

Happy fermented baking,
Anita

If you are new to sourdough baking, this is the course!

Lovely and easy to follow. Great, simple and quick videos. My starter is looking great in day 5. Lots of additional tips. Would definitely recommend this starter course. Post purchase support is amazing too. I’ll be looking for her other ones once I’m confident with this part.

Excellent course to start loving sourdough baking.

I tried to bake my own sourdough bread and followed several different instructions found on Internet. Finally, with Sourdoughmania course I found an easy way to bake it successfully. The process was presented clearly, in a simple way, with fun and love for baking. Now I am looking forward for continuing baking regularly :).

Mania for real

I was present on Anita's zoom course for sourdough bread. I can only tell that we are "sourdough maniacs" after the course. I do not stop baking recipes from Anita's book and this is our way of life and eating now. Sourdough's bread is incomparable with classic types of bread, it takes time, but it is worth of every second.
Thank you Anita and the team!
You literarily changed our lives!

The weekend course with Anita was a great and joyful experience, much more than just making sourdough. Anita is a true expert and managed to lead the group in a structured yet very light and playful way. She's highly committed and accompanied every single one of us in a pleasant and gentle way in every step we took.

Anita teaches from the heart.

From the first time I saw Anita on instagram, I knew that she would be a fabulous teacher. I love how she breaks everything down into simple-to-follow steps, and reminds us to enjoy every part of the process.

I had baked sourdough before, but my starters were always a bit blah. When I followed Anita's advice, I have had a beautiful, bubbly, happy starter. With the foundation of a powerful starter, EVERY loaf I have baked since, has turned out great.

I bought her master class a few weeks ago and have been baking two to four loaves a day as gifts. Friends and family love getting fresh bread!

I am grateful to have found Anita's courses and I have a deep appreciation for her and the love that she puts into helping us create delicious sourdough.

If you are thinking about taking her courses, do it. You and your family and friends will be happy that you did!

Keep on going and let's bake the world a better place,
