I will show how to bake your bread so that you will be fully informed to bake your own at home!
We will cover: starter creation, tools of the trade, discover different flours, using wheat and rye to make a sourdough boule and rye sourdough, what to do with discard, techniques for the best result, best baking method, try my freshly baked sourdough loaf and focaccia to accompany a light lunch.
7th June - More Sourdough, £150pp, suitable for learners and more experienced alike, this workshop is suitable for anyone wishing to learn and try new methods with their sourdoughs, continuing the journey to creating successful, flavoursome and nutritious sourdough breads and bakes.
We will cover: build confidence as a sourdough baker, expand your scope with a variety of different flours and add to your sourdough bread repertoire, making a sourdough miche with miso and black sesame topping, sweet cinnamon kringle, sumac flatbreads, seedy crackers or grissini with your discard, prepare a stiff starter and learn how to keep and use it for best results. Take home some raw dough ready to bake in the morning at home.
