Welcome to The Doorstep Baker
At The Doorstep Baker, I proudly craft artisanal sourdough, a variety of yeasted breads and breads without gluten that celebrate both flavour and inclusivity. My seven-year-old sourdough starters and use of local quality flours are the heart of my work, which also reaches local market pop ups. I include the knowledge of how I taught myself to make homemade bread, in my relaxed and friendly workshops. Head to the free recipe page on here and discover bread making for yourself today.
Courses and Workshops “One of the best courses I’ve done. Cooking my own bread weekly now and even experimenting with my own flavours of sourdough. Highly recommended.” Jayne, Bewdley, Worcestershire. Come on a bread for daily life baking workshop or an All sorts of bread workshop. There’s even a baking without gluten workshop. Head to the workshops page for more, including Christmas and Easter bakes. Lots to choose from.

A bit more about The Doorstep Baker. From February 2020 to December 2023, I personally made and delivered thousands of homemade sourdough loaves, fresh veggie soups, and sweet treats to homes in Bewdley, Kidderminster, and Stourport. This remarkable period allowed me to truly connect with my community and refine my recipes to new, delicious heights.
Recipe book . Every recipe in the book is designed to be adaptable, catering to various dietary needs and food allergies, all while being entirely vegetarian or vegan. I crafted these recipes to inspire and support your bread-making journey, motivating you to keep trying, experimenting, and enjoying the art of baking.
