Love notes
I’m really enjoying the course so far. I’m learning so much, and I’m genuinely very happy I joined. Thank you for all the time and effort you’re putting into it — I really appreciate it! ❤️ - Sheila
— SheilaThanks so much! I enjoyed the class very much.
— JaimeThis course was everything I was hoping for and more. Now feeling very confident with open baking!!
— FranceI so wish I had known about this course before I made all these attempts at sourdough. It would have saved me so much trial and error! The course made it so easy to understand the sourdough process from start to finish. Many thanks!
— MarkFinally, a course that makes sourdough accessible! I so appreciate how you’ve deconstructed the process and rebuilt it in such an easy-to-follow way. Thanks to your clear explanations and step-by-step guidance, I was able to bake my first beautiful loaf! So excited!!🤩
— LucySo glad I joined, I can now bake multiple loaves at a time.

Bonjour,
I'm Sacha!
I help home bakers make real, beautiful bread — without taking it too seriously.
I’m the baker behind Sparks & Bread. I’m not a trained pastry chef, and that’s the point: I bake real bread at home in a busy family kitchen, and I want to show you that you can too.
I built this first as a live challenge, but kept hearing “I couldn’t make the live times.” So I rebuilt the whole thing to start any day, from anywhere, at your own pace.
Bread shouldn’t come with a schedule — or a rulebook. Now it doesn’t.
If you’re nodding — you’re exactly who I made this for.
No. A bowl, an oven, and your hands. I’ll show you the simple tricks for great crust without buying anything fancy.
It’s been made complicated. I strip it back to what actually matters and skip the steps you don’t need. You’ll be surprised how relaxed it can be.
Yes. The course was built for it. Watch and bake along, right there on your counter.
Yes! This course isn’t about baking one good loaf — it’s about making fresh bread a constant in your home. The four rhythms, batch baking, freezing and the planner take you from the occasional loaf to bread that’s always on the counter.
Absolutely. Every lesson walks you through each step while you bake along, phone propped on the counter. No experience needed — just a bowl, an oven and your hands.
Yes. There’s a full lesson on sandwich loaves, and the recipes include soft sandwich bread alongside classic loaves, white and whole wheat, sweet and savoury.
That’s exactly who this is for. Most “failures” come down to a few small things nobody explains — and I explain them, without the fuss. The troubleshooting section alone will change your loaves.
The hands-on part is minutes, spread across the day while you do other things. You choose the rhythm that fits — morning, overnight, or same-day.
Forever. Buy once, start whenever you like, rewatch as often as you need. No deadlines, ever.
That’s exactly why I built it around rhythms. Pick the one that fits your week — slow, overnight, everyday or same-day — bake once, and freeze and refresh the rest. The hands-on time is minutes.
No. There are no live sessions and no start date. Begin any day, go at your own pace, and come back to any lesson whenever you need it.
