Have you ever wanted to create your own sourdough starter? Join us for this hands-on introductory workshop, inspired by the King Arthur Baking Company’s Big Book of Bread, where we’ll guide you through the basics of making and maintaining a naturally occurring yeast starter. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a home baker looking to expand your skills, this class is the perfect starting point.

In this workshop, you’ll learn:
-Weights vs. Measures: Understanding precision in baking
-Bread-Making Tools: Essential equipment for success (some tools will be available for purchase)
-Stages of Bread Making: From starter to loaf
-Preferments vs. Sourdough: What’s the difference?
-Understanding Yeast: The science of naturally occurring yeast
-Formula for Success: How to create and sustain a sourdough starter
-Troubleshooting Tips: Solving common starter challenges

You’ll also take home your very own sourdough starter to get your bread baking underway.
