About Carine

I have been baking sourdough bread for many years, mostly at home, for family, friends, and everyday life. Over time, I noticed that whenever I brought bread to someone, the same questions kept coming up — how it was made, why it worked, and why their own attempts often didn’t. That’s what led me to start giving lessons. I realized that many people struggle with sourdough not because it’s too difficult, but because the process is often unclear or explained in a way that feels overwhelming. Discovering the Tartine Bakery sourdough method was a turning point for me, as it helped me better understand fermentation and achieve consistent, reliable results. Over the years, I’ve also taught this method to my own children when they were around 10 years old, which reinforced my belief that sourdough can be explained in a clear, simple, and approachable way. My approach as a tutor is practical and focused on understanding rather than strict rules. I enjoy helping people gain confidence, adapt sourdough to their own routine, and understand why their bread works — or doesn’t. One of the most rewarding moments is seeing someone bake their first beautiful loaf and realize they can do it again on their own.

Struggling to get consistent sourdough results at home? Flat loaves, dense crumb, timing that never quite works?
Whether you’re just starting out or already baking, I help home bakers understand why their bread behaves the way it does and make sourdough work reliably at home, without professional equipment or rigid schedules.

We work with simple tools and a regular oven — a professional setup is not required to achieve great results.

The process is based on the Tartine Bakery sourdough bread recipe, a well-known method developed by a San Francisco bakery recognized for its naturally fermented bread. I break this method down into clear, simple steps and adapt it to real-life schedules, including busy ones. The goal is not to follow a rigid recipe, but to understand what matters and how to make it work consistently at home.

I offer two types of support, depending on your needs. For beginners, I guide you through the complete sourdough process, from creating and maintaining a starter to mixing, fermentation, shaping, and baking a successful loaf. For those who already bake sourdough, I offer targeted sessions to identify why a loaf isn’t working and how to fix specific issues such as flat bread, dense crumb, timing problems, or overly sour results.

Because sourdough naturally takes time, lessons focus on the key decision points rather than watching dough for hours. I adapt the process to your schedule, and you can follow the full workflow between sessions using my YouTube tutorial, with the option to review results and troubleshoot together.

Lessons are suitable for all levels and can be one-on-one or in small groups, online, by phone, or in person.
