Intro To Sourdough

Curious about sourdough but don’t know where to begin?

This class is made for you.

In just two hours, you will watch the sourdough process unfold, from starter to dough development, with clear, thoughtful demonstrations and plenty of time for questions. You will leave with more than knowledge: you will leave with a fresh-baked loaf that you scored yourself.

What you will experience in class:

• A talk about sourdough: what it is, how it works, and how to tell when your dough is ready
• A full demonstration of the dough-making steps: mixing, performing stretch and folds, and using a simple tool to know when bulk fermentation is finished.

• Scoring practice using a baker’s blade, you will score your own loaf

• Taste testing a variety of sourdough baked goods like: breads, bagels, a cinnamon bun, and one of our signature cookies

What you will take home:

• A fresh-baked sourdough loaf that you scored yourself
• A free dried sourdough starter pack to revive at home, perfect for your next bake
• Access to a simple, reliable sourdough formula to practise at home

During class, we will also share a tasting of sourdough baked goods made right here in my kitchen. The selection changes from class to class, but you can expect a mix of breads, a sweet treat, and one of our signature bakes. All are naturally leavened, fermented, and fresh from our ovens.

We will also talk about commercial bread and many grocery store or bakery loaves and why sourdough is different. Better flavour, better keeping qualities, better for your gut. You will learn what to look for and what to leave behind.

This is the class to ask your questions, get clarity, and finally see what the steps are meant to look and feel like.

This class is meant to inspire and help you decide if a deeper sourdough journey is calling your name.
