This course is a fun and beginner-friendly introduction to the world of sourdough alongside a delicious sourdough tasting.
You’ll learn the basics about the sourdough starter: what it is, how it needs to be maintained, and how to use it for baking delicious and healthy bread. During the session, we’ll feed our starters together, and you’ll go home with your own active sourdough starter, plus a clear step-by-step guide to help you bake your first loaf at home.
To spark your motivation for sourdough baking, the session begins with a sourdough tasting. You’ll enjoy a selection of freshly baked sourdough breads served with tasty dips. The tasting typically includes my signature matcha–white chocolate–oat milk loaf, spicy cheddar–jalapeño sourdough, a classic wheat–spelt–rye blend, rye–spelt bread with caraway and coriander seeds, and a sourdough focaccia. You’ll also get to try crunchy sourdough discard crackers, which are a great way to use leftover starter instead of wasting it. The step-by-step recipes of everything you'll taste will be included in the guide.
At the end of the session you are going to learn how to shape a sourdough loaf, which I think is one of the trickiest parts of the process. You'll get a pre-fermented dough, shape it, then take it home, leave it in the fridge overnight and bake it the next day.
This course is perfect if you’re curious about sourdough, want to check weather it's worth the effort and if it fits your lifestyle. It's also perfect if you think you're not ready to commit to sourdough yet, but enjoy eating it, and maybe by the end of the session you'll change your mind ;)
Just a heads-up: This course is designed as an introduction to sourdough, focusing on how to use and care for a sourdough starter and how a well-fermented dough feels like. For a deeper dive into the sourdough topic and a hands-on bread-making experience, I invite you to join my 3-hour course “Sourdough Workshop and Tasting”.
