Roy's Baking For Health

A nutrition-trained baker focused on simple, repeatable sourdough methods.

Roy's journey began in 2007 with a deep interest in food, health, and how bread affects the body.

With a degree in Clinical Nutrition and years of hands-on baking, he teaches clear principles that work in any home kitchen.

His workshops show home bakers how to make consistent, high-quality bread with confidence.

Keep baking after the workshop

Roy's bread workshops send you home with your own loaves and a live sourdough starter. The first few bakes on your own are where most people get stuck.

That's where we come in. Below are the tools workshop guests buy most, plus our free guides for feeding your starter, bulk fermentation and shaping.

20% off for workshop guests

Every workshop guest gets a code for 20% off at Flour + Water Baking. Roy hands it out on the day, so you can pick up a banneton, starter jar or baking tools and keep baking at home.

  • Keep your starter alive

    Feeding, timing and what to do when your starter goes quiet.

How do I book a workshop?

All bookings are made on Roy's website, where you'll find current dates, prices and gift vouchers. See dates and book.

Where are the workshops held?

In Killara, on Sydney's North Shore. Directions are on Roy's website.

Do I need to bring any equipment?

No. Roy's FAQ just asks you to bring comfortable clothes, closed shoes and an empty stomach.

What do I need to keep baking at home?

Most guests start with a banneton, a scoring lame and a bowl scraper. Our Beginner Sourdough Baker Set puts the basics in one box. See the workshop toolkit.

How do I use my 20% workshop code?

Roy gives every guest a Flour + Water code on the day. Enter it at checkout for 20% off bannetons, starter kits, baker sets and baking tools. One use per customer.

Do you ship to Sydney?

Yes. We ship Australia-wide from Brisbane. It's a $9.95 flat rate, with free shipping on orders over $200 (excluding NT and WA). Shipping policy.

My starter isn't rising. What should I do?

Start with our Sourdough Starter Help guides for feeding, temperature and troubleshooting. Roy also offers his guests WhatsApp support after the workshop.
