Sourdough, it's Not That Serious Guide

🍞A stress-free, beginner-friendly sourdough guide for people who don’t like math and have a million things on their plate.

You’ve probably thought about baking sourdough. But then all the ratios, timelines, and science-y kitchen talk you've heard about made you think… “Nope, not for me.”

I get it. Same here.

In fact, I only started baking during a season when burnout had me running on empty.

It wasn’t perfect, but it felt calming.
It became a slow, grounding ritual that brought me back to myself.
(And gave me a much needed break from all the screen time!) 😵‍💫

Why I Made This Guide

Hi, I’m Keri—home baker and your relatable sourdough teacher.
I created Sourdough, It’s Not That Serious during a season when I needed something slow, steady, and just for me.

Not to check a box.
Not to add one more thing to the never-ending to-do list.
But to do the exact opposite.
To feel calm, creative, and a little more like myself.

But I quickly realized that sourdough advice can be overwhelming and complicated.
I spent hours diving into TikToks, reels, blogs, and testing everything—
just to find what actually works without adding more stress.

This guide is everything I wish I had when I started:

🍞 Simple, no-fuss steps that work with your busy life.

🍞 A flexible schedule that fits you (not the other way around.)

🍞 Encouragement to let go of perfection and just bake.

🍞 Practical tips on tools, troubleshooting, and fun flavor ideas!

Here’s what’s inside:

✅ Step-by-step instructions to bake your first loaf
✅ A flexible feeding and baking schedule designed for real life
✅ The tools you actually need (and which ones to skip)
✅ Troubleshooting tips so you’re never stuck or confused
✅ Bonus ideas to add flavors and build your confidence

This guide is for you if:

✔ You’ve wanted to try sourdough but felt overwhelmed and stuck
✔ You’re tired of all the conflicting advice online
✔ You want a screen-free, feel-good ritual that’s yours alone
✔ You’re craving something simple, calming, and joyful to make

Here’s the truth:

Sourdough seems complicated—but once someone breaks it down, it’s way easier than you think.

You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need curiosity, a little guidance, and space to breathe.

Because really?
It’s sourdough. It’s not that serious. 🍞

P.S.

You don’t need a perfect kitchen or a day off.
You don’t need to know it all or get it “right.”

You just need permission to try—and a little nudge to make it feel possible.

For that, I've got you.

Let's bake! You've got this!
