Mark began baking bread at home after becoming dissatisfied with the tasteless, preservative filled products available on the high street.
Mark’s expertise as a trainer and knowledge of how people learn enabled him to develop a successful training business. Travelling extensively for business and pleasure, Mark enjoyed the opportunity to taste breads from around the globe. Bringing home inspiration, he experimented with methods and ingredients, providing his family with tasty results.
Having discovered Sourdough baking, Mark quickly achieved success producing delicious, healthy bread from his own starters which have now been maintained, strong and active for over 10 years. The passion he developed, his thorough knowledge of sourdough and expertise in training led him to establish South Downs Sourdough in 2018.
The bakery school enables Mark to share his knowledge with aspiring bakers to develop skills and a reliable process. He simplifies the experience of baking sourdough at home.
People are attracted to baking Sourdough for different reasons. For some it is all about producing great tasting loaves as an alternative to disappointing shop bought bread, for others it is the purity of a completely natural product and for some it is due to issues with digestion. He addresses all these interests and is enthusiastic to assist everyone with their personal baking aspirations.
