12/6/26 Sourdough Workshop at Tenth Ward Distilling Co.

$89.00

Join local Frederick home bakers Jon and Emily for a hands-on, beginner-friendly sourdough bread workshop at Tenth Ward Distilling Company in Downtown Frederick.

We think the best way to learn is to get your hands dirty! In this 2-hour class, we will practice mixing and shaping a traditional sourdough loaf.

You will leave class with:

  • a shaped dough to bake at home the same afternoon as class
  • a bonus dough to practice another bake at home the following morning
  • your own sourdough starter (+ feeding instructions)
  • banneton proofing basket + cloth liner + bench scraper
  • printed and PDF versions of the recipe and instructions taught in class
  • support from your new sourdough bread baking friends!

At home, you will need an oven that reaches 450 degrees F and an oven-safe vessel in which to bake your dough. We highly recommend using a cast iron Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid (raw or enameled, roughly 5-7 quarts). The cast iron is great at retaining high heat and the tight-fitting lid allows for steam while baking.

That being said, any high-walled pot with a tight-fitting lid to trap steam will work -- as long as it can withstand 450-degree heat, you can bake in it!

Our recipe (and most sourdough recipes you'll find) measure ingredients by weight, so you will want a kitchen scale if you don't already have one for future baking! 

----------

If you are unable to bake your bread shortly after class (or have a 45+minute drive home), bring a cooler with ice/icepacks to refrigerate your doughs. The cooler will need to be at least 10x10 inches with at least 6 inches of height (24 can/15-20 quarts).
