Sophie – Pastry & Dessert Recipe Developer
Sweet Comfort, Slow Fermentation
Sophie believes dessert isn’t just about indulgence — it’s about emotion.
Her love for baking started in her grandmother’s kitchen, surrounded by the scent of butter, sugar, and warm bread. When she discovered sourdough, it felt like a missing piece — a way to bring depth, texture, and balance to her favorite sweet bakes.
Now, at SourdoughLovers, Sophie transforms traditional desserts into wholesome, slow-fermented creations that taste as comforting as they are beautiful. From soft cinnamon rolls to chocolate-studded loaves, her recipes prove that sweetness and simplicity can happily coexist.
Why I Bake with Sourdough
“Sourdough makes desserts more alive,” Sophie says. “It gives every bite a soul.”
She’s fascinated by how wild fermentation adds complexity to flavor — how a touch of tang can make chocolate richer, or how a long proof can make a cake more tender.
Sophie’s kitchen philosophy is all about patience and play. She encourages bakers to slow down, trust the process, and enjoy every step of turning a simple dough into something extraordinary.

Behind the Whisk
Outside of the kitchen, Sophie finds inspiration in cozy cafés, old cookbooks, and long walks in nature. Her gentle approach to baking reflects her personality — patient, warm, and quietly creative.
When she’s not testing new recipes, you’ll probably find her sharing a slice of cake with friends or sketching new dessert ideas in her notebook.
