For the Love of Sourdough: A Desert Organic Sourdough House — Restaurant in Mesa

My wife and I recently attended a sourdough baking class with For the Love of Sourdough, and I can’t say enough about what an incredible experience it was! Nicole, the owner, is an absolute gem—her passion for sourdough shines through in every moment of the class.

Her knowledge is truly impressive; she explained the science and art of sourdough in a way that was both approachable and inspiring, making even complex concepts easy to grasp for beginners like me. Nicole’s instructional skills are top-notch. She guided us through each step with clarity and enthusiasm, ensuring everyone felt confident and supported.

Beyond her expertise, Nicole’s vibrant personality made the class unforgettable. Her humor and genuine kindness created such a joyful atmosphere. You can tell she loves what she does, and it makes everyone around her excited to learn and bake. I left the class not only with a beautiful loaf of sourdough but also with newfound confidence and a deep appreciation for the craft.

I attended the Sourdough School for Beginners – it was an amazing experience. I’ve read several books on making sourdough and have made a few attempts on my own. It was so enlightening having hands-on instruction by someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Nicole. There were eleven of us in the class and Nicole made sure everyone always received her full attention. Her instructions to the class were informative and clear. We covered how to make the bread and how to bake it – Nicole created a way to provide hands-on instruction during one class for a process that takes days to complete at home! I not only learned a lot but had a huge amount of fun - and I took a freshly baked loaf home with me. Everyone in the class was delightful. Sourdough School for Beginners class is highly...

We had a wonderful time baking sourdough with Nicole. Everyone in our party was completely inexperienced and had never made sourdough bread before. Nicole was so kind and patient, taking time to walk through the various stages/steps and answer any questions we had. She provided everything we needed to have a fun experience. It was awesome to take our freshly-baked loaves home with us, and we even got to sample some wonderful bread made by Nicole. We left with more dough (to make another loaf within a couple days) and feeling confident to maintain our starter and make our own bread moving forward. (We even had a 12-year-old in our group who did a terrific job and had a great time.) This would be a fun girls outing with family or friends....
