Delve into the delicious art of sourdough baking with our hands-on workshop that aims to demystify the sourdough process and make it more approachable for at-home bakers! This hands-on experience will guide you through each step of the process, deepening your understanding of the fundamentals of sourdough and elevating your baking skills to new heights! Learn the secrets behind cultivating and maintaining a robust starter culture and the key to a deliciously tangy bread.

Next, roll up your sleeves as you learn to mix, knead, and shape your dough like a pro. Gain insight into the science behind fermentation and gluten development and discover the secrets to achieving that perfect rise and flavor. We’ll dive into various techniques for shaping your loaves, from classic rounds to unique designs.

Learn how to customize your sourdough with unique ingredients, adding a personal touch to your creations. You’ll also explore different scoring methods to achieve beautiful patterns on your bread.
