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 9 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 more! You & your partner will each mix your own doughs - each a different color - that will come together by the end of class to make 1 marbled loaf to take home and apply the lessons from class! You will get your hands sticky, your clothes covered in flour, and work together to make your own bread. 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 with each other <3 <3
This class is for all levels of sourdough bakers!
BYOB is fine by us for participants 21+ 🥂
