Join this three-session course to discover a variety of new and delicious sourdough recipes. Once you have a sourdough starter or culture, the possibilities are endless! In this hands-on class, you will learn how to use your starter to create a wide range of baked goods, including bagels, fruit and nut loaves, focaccia, and cinnamon rolls. You will practice shaping, scoring, and folding techniques with baguettes, batards, and artistically scored boules. You'll also master the timing and maintenance of sourdough, even with whole grains, and for high-hydration doughs, such as ciabatta. Additionally, you’ll have a forum to address your sourdough questions and troubleshoot common bread-making issues related to ingredient variations and weather changes.
Since this course covers several advanced techniques, we recommend that you have some prior knowledge of bread-making before enrolling.
