Sourdough Masterclass: Starter Culture, Flours, and Grains

SUMMARY:

This class will deep dive into the microbiome of sourdough starters. You'll learn how to use different flours, ratios, and feeding techniques to suit your preferences and baking needs. We'll talk about how to create a feeding schedule that works for you AND your starter as well as backup storage options like drying and freezing. We will go over proper maintenance and helpful tools to keep in your kitchen.

Let's experiment with different flours! We will discuss the difference in higher or lower hydrations and the impact of using whole grain flour, heirloom wheats, ancient grains, and other ingredients . The world of sourdough is full of endless possibilities!

WHAT YOU'LL TAKE HOME:

Included in the class is a portion of personalized sourdough starter that you mix in class. You will also take home a specialty loaf of your choice and a goody bag of mixed flours/grains to use in your baking at home. You will have access to our class notes and recipes.
