The only bread making class in the US using freshly milled flour

Learn how to make bread that is easier to digest, contains more fiber and vitamins, and tastes better.

“One of the best things to do in LA”
–LA Magazine

Guided by Roe, thousands of Angelinos have learned how to bake bread in his workshops. But with class sold out months in advance, Roe has finally taken his in person class, and created the a thoughtful, gorgeously filmed online version you can take anytime, with anyone. Roe takes you step-by-step through his weekly bread baking routine:

Selecting the right grains
Milling the grains
Making, feeding and using starter
Mixing dough
Shaping and slashing
Baking the dough (and of course, eating)
Churning butter from scratch

You receive everything you need to complete the class, so the videos are hands on. There is no other online class like this in the the US.

How is this different from the in person class?

Because the class is video taped, you can watch the videos when you prefer, at the pace you prefer. Rewind, rewatch, or pause as much as you need. If you're an introvert and do not prefer a group event, online classes are a much better fit. You only attend the in person class once, but you can return to the videos over and over, and watch with your family or friend, all for one price. Our online class actually digs in a little deeper than the in person class, so you're getting a great value, while learning more about the breadmaking process. And since we give you all the flour, salt, and starter you need for two loaves of bread, you're not missing out on anything.

It doesn’t matter where you are in your bread making journey

Whether you’re a professional baker or someone who has never baked before, this workshop will offer new information in a fun, digestible way.

You don’t need to have a mill

Even if you don’t plan to mill flour (yet), you’ll still learn so much about the tools and possibilities to give you confidence and inspiration to keep baking.

What do others have to say about the class?

Encyclopedic knowledge, palpable enthusiasm, wonderful way to spend a few hours and learn about the best food. Highly recommend! -Matthew L.

The Sourdough Bread class is more than what you expected. You are not only making bread, you are indulged in a lesson of grains as well as making your own flour (for the bread) from grains! How cool is that! In the end you become at ease with all that it takes to make bread at home with ease and understanding simple steps and tips for a perfect delicious loaf that satisfies. Roe shares his insights and guides you through the process in a much more comfortable way that other bread making classes (and videos) can provide. I’m so thankful to him and thankful I took this class. – Paul M

Roe was amazing. I learned so much and the time just flew by. Thank you! -Caitlin W.

Fantastic class, we went from being complete beginners to making two delicious loaves of bread Highly recommended for all levels of bread makers. -Tim B.

I had one of the most rewarding experiences taking the sourdough making class. I left feeling inspired by the wealth of knowledge Roe has and the generosity, compassion and care he has. I was so fascinated and curious with all the knowledge he shared. Such a respectable guy who knows so much about good quality grains / sourdough making methods and just wants to share all of it with the people around him! Have highly recommended this class to so many people in my life already, I definitely will come back for grains and take another class in the future! -Annabel V.

This class was packed with information! It was interesting to learn the science of whole grains versus processed flour and the nutrients we are missing when eating store bought flour. There was also some history on how the manufacturing of bread over the decades has changed and why. A truly fascinating class taught by someone enthusiastic and dedicated to eating healthy with simple ingredients. I would absolutely recommend taking this class if you want to learn how uncomplicated and nutritionally beneficial it is to bake sourdough with fresh milled grains. -Jenny N.

Super sourdough class! Information-dense enough to be a great use of my time, but also very relaxed and informal. It seems like there’s something in this for everyone, regardless of skill level; I think that’s the mark of a knowledgeable and engaged instructor who clearly loves the subject. 10/10 recommend. -Lisa W.

A wealth of information, conveyed with energy and enthusiasm. Understanding the background of bread making and how it’s evolved (in the wrong direction, largely) truly stokes motivation to bring the old traditions back to the home kitchen, so truly healthy bread can be had once again. I left with the knowledge and supplies to begin preparing my own loaves, as well as an excellent source for bread-making tools and healthy, well-priced whole grain. This experience was worth 100 hours of YouTube videos, and then some. I’m new to bread-making and do not want or need a fancy specialist training. This is an excellent class for anyone who is ready to jump in and get started right away.
-Mark M.

Roe is an engaging, hilarious and knowledgeable teacher. The class was well-paced, full of background information on the history of wheat and flour, and good hands-on time. I’m a seasoned sourdough bread maker and I still learned a lot, and had a good time. Also, the new classroom space is bright and open and very inviting. I’ll be back for a sourdough pizza class! -Sherry M.

This class, taught by Roe was such a fun learning experience. I’ll start with Roe who is energetic, passionate, and bursting at the seams with knowledge. He keeps the class light and flowing and was able to pack in a lot of information that was still digestible. I had no idea the history of flour milling or how to navigate all the different options available to us (and the difference between bad flour and good flour). I loved starting at the ingredients and working our way from there to the starter and the method. I went into the class thinking I’d learn a little and left feeling completely inspired and wanting to continue my bread making journey forever!!! Highly recommend this class to people who are just getting started or people who have been doing it for years. -Hannah S.

Sourdough bread making classes have never been so popular, but most sourdough classes use store bought flour, while freshly milled flour is at the heart of what makes Roe’s classes different. Our online class expands on our in-person class, leaning on Roe’s warm and easy-going teaching style to make bread making possible for every kind of learner. Spanning 6 hours that you take at your own speed, you’ll learn:

Selecting the right grains
Milling the grains
Making, feeding and using starter
Mixing dough
Shaping and slashing
Baking the dough (and of course, eating)
Churning butter from scratch

When you purchase the class, you’ll choose a date for us to ship you your own freshly milled flour and sourdough starter to use as you follow the class. A perfect gift for you or someone else, you will leave this class with everything you need to make fresh bread that is easier to digest, more nutritious than store-bought, tastier and better looking.
