Taking the "Doh!" Out of Sourdough

Have you always wanted to try making sourdough but felt overwhelmed? This fun, hands-on workshop takes the mystery out of the sourdough process and shows you how to bake amazing bread with a simple, real-life method. Mix your own dough, learn how to care for a starter, and go home with: one loaf of dough to bake the next day, your own starter, and clear, step-by-step instructions to keep baking at home. 

What to bring:

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Tea towel/kitchen towel
  • Spatula 
  • Kitchen scale (if you have one)

Note: For best results, sourdough is typically baked in a Dutch oven. The instructor will share alternative baking options during the workshop, but if you’ve been thinking about getting (or borrowing) one, now’s a great time! A minimum 4–5 qt size is ideal.

Children ages 14 years or older may enroll with an enrolled adult. 

The class duration may vary slightly based on group size and discussion, please allow for a little extra time at the end.
