Welcome to SourdoughLovers
At SourdoughLovers, we believe bread is more than food—it’s tradition, craft, and comfort baked into every slice.
What began as one woman’s love affair with sourdough has grown into a passionate team of bakers, recipe creators, and fermentation enthusiasts. Together, we share rustic, approachable recipes and time-tested techniques to help home bakers feel confident, creative, and connected in the kitchen.
Our Story
It all started with Olivia Wells, a lifelong baking enthusiast who fell head over heels for the magic of wild fermentation. Captivated by the rhythm of sourdough baking and the tang of crusty loaves, Olivia launched SourdoughLovers from her cozy kitchen in Wales.
She wanted to build a space where bakers—beginners and pros alike—could learn, grow, and bake better bread without intimidation or guesswork.
Instead of complicated jargon or rigid perfection, Olivia envisioned a warm and welcoming hub filled with sourdough tutorials, discard-friendly recipes, and troubleshooting tips.
That’s how SourdoughLovers came to life: a place where real bread meets real people.

Our Mission
We believe:
- Sourdough should be simple. With the right guidance, anyone can make a beautiful loaf—no fancy tools needed.
- Every bake is a story. Bread connects us to tradition, to nature, and to each other.
- No starter left behind. We create smart, waste-free recipes using every bit of your bubbling jar.
- Joy belongs in your kitchen. We’re here to help you bake with confidence and curiosity.
Our goal is to help you fall in love with the process, not just the result.
