About Your Teacher
You may know Laila from social media under the handle @theearlyrisebaker. If so, you know she loves explaining things in a simple and straightforward way, cutting through the sourdough baking jargon, de-mystifying it and making it less intimidating – especially for beginners.
She's been baking for as long as she can remember and discovered a passion for naturally leavened, sourdough bread in 2019. Since then, she's become officially obsessed with sourdough – devouring books, taking classes, watching videos, meeting with other bakers – eventually starting her own cottage bakery in 2022.
Today, along with educating her social media followers through short-form content, she finds great joy consulting with up-and-coming bakers as well as teaching more formal classes in-person and online.
