If you’re on the hunt for an unforgettable sourdough baking class in NSW, look no further. At the Historic Arnott Bakehouse, we offer a truly unique sourdough baking class experience that combines heritage, hands-on learning, and a setting like no other.
Here’s what makes our class stand out and why it’s the perfect choice for anyone interested in mastering the art of sourdough.
A slice of history with every loaf
Our sourdough baking class is held at the Historic Arnott Bakehouse, where the Arnott family’s baking legacy began in the 1860s. Here, participants step into a piece of baking history as they learn from Stephen Arnott, a direct descendant of William Arnott, founder of Australia’s iconic Arnott’s Biscuits. The historic surroundings add an inspiring backdrop that makes every class feel special and meaningful, creating a connection to one of Australia’s oldest baking families.
Expert instruction from a Master Baker
Guiding the class is Stephen Arnott himself, a master sourdough baker with decades of expertise. Alongside Stephen, you’ll learn from Allie, a co-founder and food microbiologist with in-depth knowledge of food fermentations.
Together, Stephen and Allie bring an exceptional level of expertise that ensures every student leaves with a solid foundation in sourdough techniques and a newfound appreciation for the science behind baking. This isn’t just a class; it’s an opportunity to learn from the best.
Hands-on learning from start to finish
Our sourdough baking class is fully immersive, offering each participant the chance to work with every stage of the sourdough-making process. From mixing and kneading to shaping and proofing, everyone is actively involved, gaining valuable hands-on experience that brings sourdough to life.
We keep our classes small (just six people) to allow for individual attention and one-on-one instruction, so you can feel confident as you master each step.
Take home your own sourdough starter and more
As a parting gift, each participant receives our exclusive Arnott’s sourdough culture, a keepsake that connects you to the bakehouse’s history and lets you continue your sourdough journey at home.
Along with the culture, you’ll take home recipes, a Masterclass apron, and all the knowledge needed to bake your own loaves. It’s a package that keeps the experience alive long after the class is over.
A fun and engaging atmosphere
Our sourdough baking classes aren’t just about learning—they’re about having fun and connecting with fellow enthusiasts. With a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, everyone feels welcomed, whether you’re a complete beginner or already have a bit of baking experience.
Lunch is included, so you can take a break, chat with others, and enjoy a delicious meal in the middle of your baking adventure. It’s the perfect mix of education, enjoyment, and social connection.
