Hey 👋 — I'm Roselle
the heart and mind behind the How To Make Sourdough

As someone who’s spent years studying how to make sourdough bread, I know just how overwhelming sourdough bread baking can be. When I started, I struggled to keep track of the steps, rules, and contradicting information. I created How To Make Sourdough to give you a place that breaks down complex procedures into clean, clear, and straightforward lessons, making sourdough baking simple, easy and stress-free for you.

My goal is simple: to help you bake sourdough bread without the stress, frustration and overwhelm.
