Dive into the world of artisan sourdough in this two-evening, hands-on bread-making course in Manhattan. Across two engaging sessions, you’ll learn everything you need to confidently care for your own lively sourdough starter and bake beautiful, crusty loaves at home.
You’ll start by learning how to properly maintain and feed a starter, which is the essential foundation for great sourdough flavor and rise. From there, you’ll step into a large-scale bakery setting to assist with sourdough batard shaping, gaining insight into techniques professionals use for structure and consistency.
Over the course of both sessions, you’ll also mix, fold, shape, and bake your very own sourdough hearth boule from start to finish. Along the way, your instructor will cover key approaches to shaping, scoring, and proofing, as well as practical home-baking tips to help you achieve a gorgeous crust and maximum oven spring.
This course is perfect for bakers at the beginning of their bread-baking journey, foodies looking for fun things to do in NYC, or if you’re looking to expand on your bread-making skills. By the end of the workshop, you'll head home with a freshly baked loaf and the confidence to keep baking sourdough that tastes and looks artisan.

Jacqueline Eng was not always a baker. In fact, it wasn’t until she was freelancing as a classical percussionist around New York City that she discovered a curiosity for baking. When the passion for hosting bake sale fundraisers overtook her drive to “practice practice practice” she knew it was time to take the leap and pursue a career in food.
Jacqueline aims to spread love and knowledge about the benefits of using heritage grains and stone milled flours (she’ll talk your ear off if you give her the chance). Her mission is to push the boundaries of what you expect from your neighborhood bakery while maintaining an unrelenting standard for the classics you know and love.
Prior to starting Partybus Bakeshop, Jacqueline was head baker for Altamarea Group. She honed her craft at New York hot spots including Petee’s Pie Co., Arcade Bakery, and the International Culinary Center.
