Vanessa Kimbell’s Sourdough Recipes - Learn to bake the healthiest bread in the world

Welcome to my collection of sourdough recipes, where baking is more than just food – it’s Lifestyle Medicine. Every recipe is crafted with the knowledge that good bread should do more than taste delicious; it should nourish your body, support your gut microbiome, and bring real joy to your table. Drawing from years of expertise in baking nutrition and digestibility, I’ve designed these recipes to have more fibre, more diversity and to be fermented to support gut health and mental health and to be easy, delicious and affordable.

I’ve carefully selected the flours, ingredients, and artisan products to accompany my recipes, working closely with DeliverDeli to bring these essentials directly to your door. Whether you’re baking for your family, friends, or customers, I hope these recipes inspire you to create bread that’s not only a treat but a tool for well-being - these might well be some of  the healthiest bread recipes in the world
