What you'll do
Welcome to the swirl-happy, flavor-packed intro to sourdough recipe development. In this 2-hour workshop, you’ll start with beautifully proofed dough—no mixing, no waiting—just pure hands-on creativity.You’ll choose from a colorful lineup of inclusions (think herbs, spices, seeds, and a few surprises) to make your loaf your own. Then dive straight into the fun: shaping dramatic swirls, building structure, and learning how to bring personality to every fold.While the class builds their own recipe, Athena mixes and bakes a loaf from scratch—a brand new recipe she’s never tried before—teaching essential techniques, the secrets to keeping a sourdough starter happy and healthy, and the science behind how ingredients affect fermentation.Once your loaf is shaped and packed with flavor, it’s ready to take home for its final rise and next-day bake. Plus, you won’t leave empty-handed: everyone goes home with a jar of Athena’s historic 178-year-old starter to kickstart your own baking adventures. And yes, we’ll talk about what to do when it’s time to score, bake, and bask in your brilliance.This is sourdough without the stress—just a good time with good dough and maybe a friend or two by your side.Curious about fermentation and want to build your loaf from scratch?
