Join us for a beginner’s guide to delicious handcrafted sourdough bread – a slow-fermented bread that doesn’t utilize commercial yeast. It is simply live cultures, flour, and water.
Learn how to keep a sourdough starter, how to use it, and how to get the most out of it. Then leave with your own starter to take hom and begin baking!
You don’t need to be a professional baker to impress people and make something incredible – sourdough baking is easier than expected.
Have a gluten intolerance? This is a great skill to learn because the fermentation process breaks down the hard-to-digest proteins and enzymes found in wheat!
