Sourdough & Breadmaking Workshop
Sourdough has been around for thousands of years and recently has increased in popularity. The unmatched taste, health benefits, and self sustainability are some of the main draws, but the terminology and techniques can be intimidating. Our instructor is all about sharing the gift of sourdough and setting your fears aside. Come join us for an opportunity to gather and learn about a simple method around a complex topic!
A small class with a maximum of 5 participants. Each step of the process will be executed by each member with her guidance & instruction.
Our instructor will be educating on the science behind the fermentation process, the benefits of sourdough vs conventional bread, and what you’ll need to start baking at home.
Each participant will go home with their starter in a 32 ounce jar, a freshly baked loaf, and an educational handout with bonus recipes!
