Sourdough Basics with guest instructor Leigh Patterson - Saturday, July 12th 1-4pm

Class Descriptions: Sourdough Basics

Learn to bake sourdough bread! Different flavors of bread will be provided for participants to enjoy during class. We will begin the class by covering many of the health benefits of sourdough bread.

Participants will learn how to activate and care for a sourdough starter. We will then go through each of the steps of the bread-making process. Participants will have the opportunity to practice techniques like stretch and folds, coil folds, and shaping a loaf as well as how to include your favorite add-ins. We will also talk about ways to work around your busy schedule in order to make sourdough-making possible!

This class is designed for beginners or those that want to touch up on their sourdough bread making skills. It is designed to be interactive and hands-on. Each participant will take home two loaves of bread to bake at home, dehydrated starter, a glass jar, care instructions, a sample baking schedule and a bread recipe.

Those who would like to purchase "tools" will take home many of the tools needed to make sourdough including: two proofing baskets, a cleaning brush, a whisk, thermometer, bench scraper, dough scraper, bread lame and stencils. Please email Leigh directly to reserve and pay for your tool kit:
