Perfect for beginners and returning students alike!
Discover the art of baking delicious, slow-fermented sourdough bread without the use of commercial yeast! In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn how to maintain a live sourdough starter, use it to create incredible bread, and maximize its potential. Whether you’re new to sourdough or looking to refresh your skills, this hands-on class will guide you step-by-step.
Leave with your own sourdough starter and the confidence to bake at home. Sourdough is easier to master than you might think, and you don’t need to be a professional baker to impress your friends and family with the results! Plus, if you have a gluten intolerance, sourdough’s fermentation process helps break down proteins and enzymes, making it easier to digest.
