New to sourdough? Familiar with sourdough but want to hone your skills and learn more about the nitty-gritty of what makes sourdough sourdough? This class is all-encompassing of what we bakers mean and intend with “sourdough.” We will cover flour, the science of why on various topics under the “bread” umbrella, sourdough starter health, shaping, scoring, baking, tasting, and more! Frida, our education director, has spent the past 8 years refining and improving her technique, skill, and recipes from her beginnings as a home baker to her professional experience as the former bread-head of Sour Duck. She is so excited to welcome you to her Intro to Sourdough class and share her wealth of knowledge with you.
In this four-hour class we will walk through what makes a healthy sourdough starter, the critical control points of sourdough, how to shape dough, and you will mix your own dough to take home and apply the lessons from class! You will get your hands sticky, your clothes covered in flour, and the opportunity to troubleshoot and ask all the questions you’ve been dying to have answered. This class is designed to leave you with a better understanding of our fresh stone-milled flour, natural fermentation in bread, and a deeper connection to where our food comes from.
This class is for all levels of sourdough bakers!
Things to look forward to:
- Have an opportunity to work with our own fresh flours, stone-ground right here at Barton Springs Mill
- Learn about the differences and uses for all of our wheat varietals
- Learn how to master elevated bread-making techniques with Frida
- Snack elegantly, take home a loaf of freshly-baked sourdough bread, AND dough to proof and bake at home!
- Tour the mill with our Education team
