About the Event
This introductory class serves as a primer on sourdough starters for those new to baking with wild yeast. Learn how to start your own culture with just flour, water and a bit of patience. If you already have a sourdough culture, we will discuss how to maintain a healthy culture, troubleshoot issues with your starter, and how to use your starter in baking recipes (from pancakes, to flatbreads, muffins and more). We will also walk through the steps of using your mature sourdough starter to make our house-favorite Sourdough Focaccia Bread!
As a student in this class, you have the option to either just watch and listen OR make your very own ferment along with us! This class is split into two parts to meet the needs of both students who don't have a starter yet and would like to learn to grow their own, and for students that already have a starter and want to learn more about sourdough starter use and care!
