Hi, I'm Stefany!

I’m a Florida-based mom-of-two who fell in love with sourdough… the hard way.

The Bread Coach exists because I remember what it felt like to want homemade sourdough so badly, but not have anyone to guide me step-by-step. And honestly? A lot of the videos online were either too complex, too fast, or assumed I already knew things I didn’t.

So if you’ve ever thought, “I want to do this, but I’m confused,” you’re exactly who I built this for.

How I Learned (aka: lots of bread fails)

My sourdough journey was a My sourdough journey was a lot of experimenting, messing up, figuring out why it went wrong, and trying again.

I’ve had the dense loaves, the sticky dough disasters, and the “why is my starter doing that?” moments — all of it.

But over time I learned what actually matters, what doesn’t, and how to make sourdough feel predictable instead of intimidating.

That’s what I teach here: simple, repeatable steps that make sense — even if you’re brand new.

Today I teach thousands of home bakers how to make confident sourdough through The Bread Coach courses and guides.
