Sourdough Bread Making Workshop

Join us for an immersive experience in the art of sourdough baking! Sourdough represents an ancient culinary craft, combining flour, water, and wild yeast to create delicious, nourishing bread. In this workshop, we’ll embrace the slow, mindful practice of making sourdough, focusing on:

• The science and mythology behind wild fermentation
• Understanding how sourdough starters serve as living cultures
• The art of mixing, folding, and shaping dough by feel, not by the clock
• Exploring how temperature, grain, and time influence flavor and texture
• Hands-on practice, reading dough through touch, scent, and movement

Prepare for delicious bread tastings and storytelling that complement practical instruction. This class warmly welcomes all skill levels and is designed to create a deeper connection with the bread you bake at home. Expect flour on your hands and engaging conversations to nourish your creative spirit.
