Sourdough Social with Ligia

09/10/2026

I have a secret to share… 🤫

It all started with a sweet levain and a little experiment. I threw together a batch of sourdough cinnamon rolls, kneaded the dough by hand, brought it to work, and let it ferment right in my office.

And look what happened!

Warm, gooey, crazy-delicious cinnamon rolls—and the smiles on my coworkers’ faces made every minute worth it. ❤️

Sometimes the best recipes begin with a little curiosity and a willingness to try.
Would you try same-day sourdough cinnamon rolls baked in an air fryer?

Hello everyone 👋

In case you're new to my page, my name is Ligia Simon, and I’d love to introduce myself and my small business, Sourdough Social.

I have lived in Peoria for 22 years and
I host small, hands-on sourdough gatherings in my home, where guests learn how to make beautiful artisan bread from scratch.
But what makes these gatherings truly special isn’t just the bread—it’s the friendships, meaningful conversations, and sense of community that grow around the table.

Whether you’ve been baking for years or have never touched a sourdough starter, you’ll be welcomed with coffee, delicious food, encouragement, and plenty of hands-on instruction.

My heart is simple:

People First.
Bread Second.

I truly believe some of life’s best conversations happen around a table, and I would love to share that experience with you.

You can also find free sourdough tips, recipes, and beginner-friendly videos on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok under SourdoughSocialWithLigia.

Thank you for allowing me to introduce myself.
Supporting a small business means supporting someone’s dream—and I’m so grateful to be part of this community. ❤️

🍞 Come for the sourdough. Leave with skills, confidence—and a community that feels like family.

At a Sourdough Social gathering, you’ll:

✨ Learn the sourdough process step by step
✨ Mix, shape, score, and bake with confidence
✨ Take home a freshly baked loaf
✨ Prepare dough to bake the following day
✨ Receive active starter and my recipe booklet
✨ Enjoy delicious food, coffee, and meaningful conversation
✨ Become part of a welcoming sourdough community

This is more than a class—it’s an experience created around the table.

Come as a stranger-- Leave as family. ❤️

Limited to only 8-10 guests—reserve your chair at the table!

We are booking into November.

Just opened Nov 7th so make sure you reserve your seat today.

We will learn how to make pumpkin shaped bread. Reserve your spot today!

❤️ Ligia

Are same-day sourdough cinnamon rolls actually doable?

👀 I prepared my levain ahead of time, mixed the dough in the morning—and brought it to work!

Yes, my cinnamon-roll dough is fermenting in my office. 😂

Will they turn out soft, fluffy, and worth the experiment?

Follow along for the bake and taste test!

These bagels may have ruined store-bought bagels for me. 🥯🤎
Overnight fermented.
Boiled for that signature chew.
Baked until beautifully golden.
Crisp on the outside, soft and CHEWY on the inside… and that crumb? 😍

There’s something pretty special about waking up and turning yesterday’s dough into fresh sourdough bagels right in your own kitchen.

Would you choose EVERYTHING, sesame, cheese… or plain?

Save this one for your next sourdough bake. ❤️

There are moments during these gatherings when I look around my table and realize that what we’re creating here is about so much more than bread. ❤️

Today was one of those days.

Every person who walks through my door comes to learn sourdough—but somewhere between the flour on our hands, the conversations around the table, the laughter, the questions, and the loaves coming out of the oven, something deeper happens.

We connect.
We learn from one another.
We slow down.
We make memories.

And there is one little person who almost always wants a seat at my table—my daughter, Sophie. ❤️

She loves being part of these gatherings. She watches, asks questions, gets involved, and little by little, she is beginning to truly understand the sourdough process.

Watching her learn something that has become such a passion of mine is incredibly special.

It reminds me that baking is one of those beautiful skills that can bring generations together.
Children can learn patience, confidence, responsibility, creativity, and the joy of making something with their own hands. Adults can rediscover those same things, too.

You don't have to be an experienced baker.
You don't have to know anything about sourdough before you walk through my door.

You simply have to be willing to learn.

My greatest hope is that when you leave my table, you take home more than a loaf of bread.
I hope you leave with confidence, knowledge, new friendships, beautiful memories, and maybe even something you'll someday teach your own children.

Because recipes teach skills, but the moments we create around the table become part of our legacy.

Thank you to every person who has trusted me to teach you, welcomed my passion, shared my gatherings with others, and supported this little dream of mine. Word of mouth, your reviews, your kind messages, and your recommendations mean more to me than you know.

This is Sourdough Social.

A place for beginners.
A place for experienced bakers.
A place for children to learn beside their parents.
A place to gather, learn, laugh, and belong.

Because around here, you come as a guest and leave as family. ❤️

❤️ Ligia
