Every class, without fail, someone says, “My dough is so sticky!”

If you’ve ever said those words, you’re not alone.

One of the biggest misconceptions in sourdough baking is that sticky dough means you’ve done something wrong. Most of the time, it doesn’t. Sourdough is naturally tacky.

The secret isn’t adding more flour. It’s understanding the process and learning the right techniques.

In my classes, I teach students how to:

* Build surface tension before the dough even leaves the bowl.
* Understand why stretch and folds make the dough easier to handle.
* Shape the dough with confidence.
* Keep the dough moving instead of letting it stick to their hands.
* Use lightly damp hands when needed.

By the end of class, students are often amazed that they’re comfortably handling the very same dough that felt impossible just a few hours earlier.

That’s exactly what we practise together in class. I don’t just teach you a recipe. I teach you the techniques that help you understand your dough so baking sourdough becomes enjoyable instead of frustrating.

So I heard you want to learn sourdough… 👀🍞🍕

A few moments from one of our hands on Bread + Pizza workshops.

You’ll mix dough, shape and score your own loaf, make sourdough pizza dough, enjoy fresh pizza for lunch, and leave with starter, tools, and a process you can actually repeat at home.

No fancy equipment. No mystery. Just real bread, real people, and ongoing support after class at no extra cost.

Some of you may remember us as Bread by Elise.

Over the last three years, I stepped away from baking to focus on teaching sourdough workshops across Kingston and beyond. Many classes, many loaves, and a whole lot of flour later, Great Lakes Sourdough has grown into something new.

And now we’re opening the bakery side of Great Lakes Sourdough.

We’re beginning with small batch fresh milled sourdough, fresh milled flour, and naturally fermented favourites, available for pickup every Wednesday and Friday.

Current offerings:

• Fresh Milled Red Fife Sourdough
• Seeded Fresh Milled Red Fife Sourdough
• Fresh milled flour in small quantities for home bakers
• Organic Sourdough Pizza Dough (currently available at 55 Cranbrook Street only)
• Pizza Sauce (currently available at 55 Cranbrook Street only)

Our flour is milled the same day as pickup for freshness, flavour, and all the goodness fresh grain has to offer.

Coming soon:

• Fresh milled focaccia
• Sourdough cinnamon buns
• Seasonal bakery features

Pickup locations:

After three years, we’re baking again for you!

We stepped away from the microbakery to focus on teaching.
And somewhere along the way, the flour changed everything.

When grain is milled fresh, the difference is immediate.
Deeper flavour. Warmer, fuller bread.

So we made a decision.

Our home microbakery is back,
with a smaller, more focused bake.

Fresh milled Red Fife.
Fresh milled rye.
Nothing rushed. Nothing extra.

Limited loaves each week.
Bakes on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Kingston pickup. Details in bio.

April is set.
