Learn to Make the perfect loaf of Sourdough Bread!

Select a date from the drop-down menu.

In this 3-hour workshop, 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!*

We’ll explain fermentation and have a brief discussion about the benefits of making and eating fermenting foods. We’ll show you how easy it is to start making naturally-leavened bread yourself at home! We’ll have a variety of sourdough bread flavors and will bake bread fresh during the workshop. And you’ll do it yourself by rolling up your sleeves and making 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 need to turn your dough for about 2 hours after the class to prepare it for baking!
* Please note: In the workshop, we will NOT be showing how to make gluten-free dough.

In preparation for this workshop, please bring the following items from your kitchen:

a heavy mixing bowl; at least 3 quarts size would be best (we will have some if you absolutely don’t have one to bring)
a digital kitchen scale (we have some too, but it will make it faster if some people like you bring one)
a clean dish towel (to cover your dough in the bowl)
a thin spatula or dough whisk, if you have one
a pint-size or larger mason jar with a lid to capture your sourdough starter. This is also optional, as we can put them in baggies, but if we can use less plastic, yay us!!
Optional: an apron (it won’t be that messy, but if you have a favorite one you like, bring it!) or purchase a Craft Collective apron & support our studio!

This workshop is for all ages 12+years with adult, or 16+years.
All ingredients and materials included.
