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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis class is for all levels of sourdough bakers!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThings to look forward to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eHave an opportunity to work with our own fresh flours, stone-ground right here at Barton Springs Mill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eLearn about the differences and uses for all of our wheat varietals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eLearn how to master elevated bread-making techniques with Frida\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eSnack elegantly and tour the mill with our Education team\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eTake home a loaf of freshly-baked sourdough bread, AND dough to proof and bake at home! \u003cem\u003e(h\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eands-on only)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ePurchase BSM products at a 15% discount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBYOB is fine by us for participants 21+ 🥂\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass Policies:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTICKETS ARE FINAL SALE, NON-REFUNDABLE, and NON-TRANSFERABLE TO OTHER CLASSES.
