Who knew a simple mix of flour and water could create a bread that might outlive you? It all started with an accidental fermentation thousands of years ago, giving rise to the first naturally leavened loaves. Some starters have survived for centuries, even tracing back to Ancient Egypt, carrying flavours and stories through time.
What makes sourdough so captivating is that no two loaves are ever the same. The wild yeast and bacteria in the starter evolve with the environment, the baker’s hands, and even small changes in temperature or humidity, all contributing to its distinct taste.
Discover how simple ingredients transform into a living, flavorful loaf. Knead, shape, score, and savour bread straight from the oven and see firsthand why sourdough has fascinated humans for generations.

About The Host
In 2004, Keerthi Kamalakar took a leap of faith in Melbourne to become a chef and pursue his dream of being an F&B entrepreneur. His early years included working at international events like the Australian Open and Melbourne Grand Prix, where he gained invaluable experience serving large audiences with high-quality food made from local ingredients.
What began with donuts soon grew into everyday breads and eventually became a deep passion for sourdough. For over 17 years, his journey with flour, water, yeast, and salt has been one of patience, creativity, and joy.
As co-founder of Yellolife, Keerthi bakes sourdough at an artisanal microbakery that specializes in fermented and baked products free from food colors, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and harmful sugars. Alongside brands such as Donut Nation, The Bake Factory, W-Cafe, and Zen Bowls, Yellolife reflects his belief that baking is about more than food, it’s about connection, care, and crafting nourishment one loaf at a time.
What's a 'Trove Experience’
As our cities swell, we tend to do fewer and repetitive things for recreation. With Trove, you get to break the monotony and explore fresh activities in your city, meet like-minded souls, and develop a deeper appreciation for the finer things.
Most of us likely resonate with terms like 'workshops' or 'events.’ What makes these an 'experience' is the energies we put into scouring the right artists, creators and storytellers, to ensure that each Trove Experience leaves you enriched with meaningful moments to collect for your very own treasure trove.
