Introduction to Sourdough Bread Baking
Ideal for Beginners

This 3.5-hour long hands-on workshop will teach you how to make a delicious sourdough wheat country loaf. We will walk you through the process from creating your sourdough starter to the right mixing to bulk fermentation, shaping your dough, scoring, and baking in your oven. You will learn about the benefits of baking with sourdough and how to maintain a sourdough starter. You will make one sourdough bread dough in class to bake at home, and you will bake one loaf directly in class. During dough resting phases, we will offer samples of our Artisan breads for tasting. All baking utensils and ingredients will be supplied, including a sample of our wheat sourdough starter so you can continue baking at your leisure.

Baking Sourdough Bread with Rye Flour
A Low-Gluten Alternative to Wheat Bread

In this 4-hour long workshop, we cover the fundamentals of baking traditional European sourdough Rye flour bread recipes. Rye flour is naturally low in gluten and, therefore, well suited for those who suffer from gluten sensitivity. However, the low gluten content requires different techniques than wheat flour bread. We will discuss various recipes, and you will taste samples of our artisan rye breads. You will bake two types of bread in class and make one mixed flour bread dough to bake at home after the class. All baking utensils and ingredients will be supplied, including a sample of our rye sourdough starter.

Fee: $140/participant

Seats still available Oct 5th and Nov 16th
