7/11/26 Sourdough Bread Baking Class
$89.00
We think the best way to learn is to get your hands dirty! In this 2-hour class, we will practice mixing, shaping, and baking a traditional sourdough bâtard (an oval-shaped loaf).
You will leave class with:
- your own sourdough starter (+ feeding instructions)
- banneton proofing basket + cloth liner + bench scraper
- a shaped dough to bake at home the same afternoon as class
- a bonus dough to practice another shape & bake at home
- printed and PDF versions of the recipe and instructions taught in class
- support from your new sourdough bread baking friends!
Baking vessels you can use at home (as long as it can withstand 450-degree heat, you can bake in it!):
- a thick-walled pot with a tight-fitting lid, such as a Dutch oven or casserole dish
- Pizza stone or baking sheet with a metal bowl or DIY foil dome
- Stainless steel pot with oven-safe lid
- Turkey roaster with lid or foil
Necessary tools for baking at home:
- Oven and baking vessel
- Kitchen scale that measures in grams
- Mixing bowl
- Sourdough starter*
- Flour (Bread and All Purpose flour both work great)
- Water
- Salt
- Sharp kitchen knife for scoring dough before baking
