Due to popular demand, we are hosting an additional "After Hours at Hewn: Creating a Stater" class in February. This class is perfect for those wanting to create their own starter to bake bread and other items. As Ellen writes in her book Heritage Baking, "Nothing beats a true sourdough starter . . . a treasured, living, breathing and eating culture of healthy bacteria that helps break down the gluten. Natural starters (also known as levain) bring out the nuanced flavors of heritage wheat and also add a touch of tang and sweetness that we crave in sourdough-style bread."

Ellen will teach participants how to make and care for their starter. Each person will take their starter home after the class. A light dinner and refreshments will also be served.

Signed copies of Heritage Baking will also be available for purchase at the event.

We hope you can join us for a fun and informative evening!
