Beginner Level Workshop

This is the sourdough baking class you need if you are just starting out in sourdough bread baking. This class is for BEGINNERS who have no idea of how to bake with sourdough or those who have tried and stumbled.

In this hands – on workshop, you will learn everything you ever wanted to know about using and maintaining a naturally fermented sourdough starter. It is also called “wild yeast”. By learning the techniques used by artisan bakers, you’ll get peak performance from your starter and will learn how to prepare it for traditional rustic loaves, sourdough pizza, sourdough bagels and much more.

This workshop lasts about 4 hours and we will be busy all that time. 🙂 Making sourdough bread is a very fun experience that requires time and a little bit of patience. You will go home with your own starter, the dough that you worked on during the class, recipe of the bread and a ton of fun memor

We will bake a loaf of bread, which we will sample with tasty accompaniments.
