Sourdough Bread in Minutes Class
“Juli’s sourdough bread baking class was an absolute delight! She is a true master—both in baking and in teaching. Her expertise and passion for sourdough were evident in every step, and she delivered her knowledge in a way that was clear, engaging, and easy to follow. She’s a Jedi in the art of bread-making, and thanks to her, I now feel confident in trying my skills at home. Beyond the incredible instruction, we were also wonderfully taken care of by Walter, who kept us refreshed with delicious drinks and made sure we were comfortable and spoiled throughout the experience. Overall, this was a fantastic class—educational, fun, and inspiring. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to master the magic of sourdough baking! Juli’s sourdough bread baking class was an absolute delight!”

“Juli, Walt and Linda made our experience incredible. We tried their delicious shrubs, fermented drinks and met their dogs before crafting the perfect sourdough bread. We learned a ton about the importance of fresh ingredients and how attainable making sour dough is. We also made some new friends and tried a few variations of intricate sourdoughs with different ingredients mixed in the bread. Definitely worth it if you are a chef, baker or have any interest in learning about food! Also close to Petaluma’s downtown so you can enjoy the area during the day.”
“Thank you so much for teaching us about making sourdough. You made J’s birthday so lovely. We can’t wait to eat our bread and make more. I’m also very impressed by all your achievements and dedication to teaching. You and your family are so lovely. Can’t wait to come back and try another one.

We loved our time with Juli! My wife is a huge sourdough fan and was so thrilled to take this class. Juli is so kind, knowledgeable, and hospitable. We both kind of wish she was our grandma. The dogs were so sweet and the home was so cozy. We loved hearing Juli's stories of her travels and her past experiences, and she even gave us a few recommendations for our upcoming trip to Japan! But the real star of the show is Walt. You'll want to take this class just for him. He's the Vanna White to Juli's Pat Sajak. Juli sends you home with starters and instructions that are easy to understand and follow along at home. My wife's been home for a week and already made two loaves that turned out beautifully and, more importantly, tasty. Thanks for showing us the ropes Juli!
Juli thank you so much for inviting us into your home and teaching us your magic! We both deeply enjoyed our time with you and Walt, and Liah is so thrilled to have this new ability in her repertoire. Ps the starters held up during our flight and there were no messy explosions! Thank you again!

Juli was wonderful, and she gave us so many interesting and thoughtful cooking tips that I was not expecting, beyond baking sour dough bread. She clearly has years and years of culinary expertise professionally under her belt and it shows. If ever you have cooking questions about anything big or small, she is patient and kind in her responses. A solid instructor, and I learned so much from spending just a couple of hours with her. I would definitely recommend this experience, and I will be telling others in my circles about it.
Juli, thank you so much for hosting us this afternoon. My husband and I had a fabulous experience, and we look forward to baking bread from the starter that you gave us. The whole experience was so relaxing and informative, and we both came away feeling so pleased with everything. With our deepest appreciation, I thank you for working with us this afternoon and showing us the best ways to bake sour dough bread. Also, the shrubs and toast samples were delicious!

Juli's Almost No-Knead Sourdough Bread class was way beyond my expectations. I went in thinking I'd be happy if I learned some new tricks for an easy bread recipe. I left with a host of new tips and tricks for baking and cooking in general. Juli's knowledge and depth of culinary experience is beyond most kitchen professionals. She delivers her knowledge in a humble and straightforward way. If you know nothing about baking you'll learn some great fundamentals, and if you have years cooking you'll walk away with some new nuggets of wisdom. I'd give Juli a 10 and make sure you get in on some of Walt's humor, he's more than just a dishwasher.

We learned so much from this experience! You are learning bread making from an incredibly experienced chef. We came home with a few thorough recipes, a sourdough loaf each, some instant yeast, and some sourdough starter (by request). Juli even gave us some great recommendations beforehand on things to see and do in that area. Walt was also so kind and helping out behind the scenes. I was inexperienced in bread making before this class, but now feel excited of all the possibilities (including sourdough crackers and croutons). Dont miss out on Juli’s homemade shrubs and kombucha!
