Meet the Founder

Chef Roberto Giammellucca

Thanks for visiting The Sourdough Science Academy.

 

This is an idea born from the desire to spread awareness of Sourdough and its health benefits.

When I first started making my own Sourdough Starter it was a success after few trials and this is because I had the knowledge and understanding of wheat flour and its enzymatic composition and I have studied the bacteria’s metabolic reactions .

I am a Qualified Italian Pizzaiolo, Chef and Baker, I have been taught to study the Science behind the kneading process of Pizza, Bread and any other kinds of doughs.

I have been experimenting for many years and I am now ready and keen to share the knowledge and my founding with you all.

I will show you how to bake bread, pizza and any other sourdough related goods with the use of natural and organic ingredients and Ancient Grains.

I also love to socialise and share my food with everyone that is why I also offer Pizza Catering for Parties, Birthdays, Functions and Private events. 

Welcome to The Sourdough Science Academy, 

your Sourdough Journey has just started.

 

Just a thought...

I believe that there has never been better time then NOW for 

🥖 learn how to make your own bread , 

🥦 learn how to grow you own veggies and trying to be self sufficient as much as possible

With the 

❌food shortages we see nowadays, 

❌prices, 

❌rates and 

❌inflation going up, 

✅ SAVING Money comes as priority in our daily life and it is a vital skills to protect ourselves.

I am so blessed 😇 to be able to contribute to help people with my knowledge and skills.

This is my main focus with my Academy… helping people having bread on their table at low cost with the maximum health benefits and without the use of expensive equipment.

Are you ready to start baking your own delicious Sourdough Bread?

Learning to make Sourdough Bread has been a dream for me for a while now and Roberto's class was just what I needed. If you are a hands on experiential learner like me, then Roberto is the teacher for you. There is much to learn in a short time, and I struggled to remember it all - so I came home and joined the online class as a back up and that has been excellent also. Roberto is a fun, creative teacher and the sourdough we made, and I continue to make, is just so damn yummy. Do yourself a favour and join - you wont regret it!!

I engaged the Sourdough Science Catering for my birthday celebration, and it was the best decision I could have made! My guests were constantly coming to me to rave about how delicious everything was! We had antipasto boards, arancini, pizzas, lasagna (thanks to Roberto’s wife!), and cannoli 🤤 Just thinking about it makes my mouth water again. Roberto was also fantastic to be around and fit in perfectly with my guests. From the very first message, I got great vibes from him. Thank you so much, Roberto!!!! You are a legend! I highly recommend him and will definitely have him cater future events!!!

We had a great time at our Sourdough workshop. Roberto was very knowledgeable and his balance of theory and practice was great. His delivery was very relaxed, and he encouraged questions at any time. All in all, a very rewarding day.

I ordered two flours from Sourdough Science Academy, Certified Organic Whole Rye and Organic Stoneground White Bakers flour. Reason being the flour you buy at supermarkets are very low quality and will only disappoint your efforts and love that you put into our bread, there is such a huge improvement with the bread I'm baking now. Give yourself a chance to make your bread taste like it should.

I completed Roberto's sourdough workshop yesterday and absolutely loved it. Whilst there is SO MUCH to learn about making the perfect sourdough Roberto made me feel confident in being able to master the art of bread making. The amount of information is overwhelming but I loved that Roberto and his team will continue to support us through the private Facebook group for people that have taken his class. I highly recommend doing this class!

Amazing Years of Sourdough Science! 🎉

What a journey it’s been! 🤩

It all started from a dream of running sourdough classes while working as a Chef. 🧑‍🍳 

After buying the domain thesourdoughscience.com in 2020, we held our first workshop in September 2021. 🙌

Over the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching more than 1,500 students—home bakers, bakers, doctors, chefs, scientists, and health-conscious individuals from all walks of life. 🌍

Together, we’ve shared the love of sourdough bread, pizza, and organic fresh pasta, spreading health and joy from Brisbane and the Gold Coast to NSW. 🙌

From humble beginnings—one workshop a month—The Sourdough Science Academy has grown into a thriving community, offering:

* Classes every weekend
* Private and corporate workshops
* Kids’ pizza classes 🍕
* Catering for events up to 120 people

We’ve taught in community centres, restaurants, coffee shops, commercial kitchens, event space, cookery school and a TAFE—thank you to every venue that hosted us! 🙏🏻

Alongside our in-person offerings, we’ve expanded digitally with:

* A quiz to test your sourdough knowledge
* Online courses, including free courses and blogs to enhance your baking skills

A special thank you to all of you who’ve attended, shared your enthusiasm, and of course, received my sourdough starter, Stella ⭐️ 

Last but not least, the biggest thank you goes to my wife, Marika Nastasi, and her Healthy Meals initiative. Without her support, The Sourdough Science Academy wouldn’t be what it is today.

Your support, along with the incredible help of my assistants, has made this journey unforgettable. ❤️

We started from zero and now stand proud with a growing team, a new logo, and endless opportunities ahead. I’m beyond grateful for this adventure and excited for what we will achieve together in the future! 💛

Here’s to more dough, more fun, and more sourdough love! 🍞
