Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you dive in.
Will I be able to watch the lessons whenever I have time?
Yes. The Starter Course is fully self-paced. Watch on your phone, tablet, or computer whenever it fits your schedule — mornings, evenings, or a quiet weekend. Pause and pick up right where you left off.
How long will I have access to the lessons?
You get lifetime access. Buy once, and the course stays in your library for good — including future updates we add to the lessons. No subscription required.
Do I need an existing starter, or can I build one from scratch?
Either works. The course walks you through building a starter from flour and water if you're starting fresh, and it also covers how to revive, maintain, and troubleshoot a starter you already have.
I'm a complete beginner — is this course for me?
Absolutely. Lessons are bite-sized and beginner-friendly, with clear explanations of the why behind each step. You don't need baking experience — just flour, water, and a jar.
How long does it take to get through the course?
Most bakers finish the core lessons in a weekend, but there's no rush. Bite-sized videos mean you can do one lesson over coffee and still make real progress. Go at whatever pace works for you.
