You will learn all about sourdough and how to make your first loaf of sourdough bread with organic flour and local sourdough starter. Nothing tastes quite like fresh-baked, naturally leavened bread!
  • LEARN: We’ll explain fermentation and have a brief discussion about the benefits of making and eating fermented foods.
  • DEMO: We’ll show you how easy it is to start making naturally leavened bread yourself at home!
  • TASTE: We’ll have a variety of sourdough bread flavors and will bake bread fresh during the workshop.
  • DO IT YOURSELF: Roll up your sleeves and make your very own dough (to be baked the next day!).
Includes your own sourdough starter and take-home loaf of sourdough bread!
Note: You will also have 2 hours of (mostly inactive) time after the class ends to prepare your dough to bake it the next day.
What you'll get
  • A dough made with organic flour to finish and bake at home
  • Recipe cards and instructions on baking bread and maintaining starter
  • Samples of sourdough bread and sourdough recipes
  • Susie, a 7-year-old San Diego sourdough starter
  • Dough scraper to shape and turn dough
Knowledge required
None. Beginners welcome!
What to bring
  • Heavy mixing bowl; at least 3 quarts size would be best
  • Digital kitchen scale (we have some too, but it will make it faster if some people like you bring one)

  • Thin spatula or dough whisk, if you have one
  • Pint-size or larger mason jar with a lid to capture your sourdough starter.
