Today we will cover all aspects of making perfect sourdough with step-by-step instructions on starter building, maintaining, refreshment and storing.  We will use some of this starter to make a beautiful focaccia and learn the pull and fold no-knead technique to develop a traditional sourdough boule, shaping and strengthening the dough in readiness for Day 2.  There will be time to make naughty chocolate chip sourdough cookies using some of the starter discarded when refreshing your starter so there is no waste.

As we could all do with some positive distractions I have put together a few online workshops in the run-up to Christmas. We will make a selection of gorgeous seasonal breads including Christmas Stollen (make your own marzipan for the stollen), Walnut Bread Wreaths (for perfect pairing with Stilton Cheese), Wicked festive centrepiece of melted camembert, spiked with garlic & rosemary nestled inside poppyseed rolls.

You could organise a private online bread workshop to share with distant family and friends, it is a fun way to see each other safely and make something delicious together as well!  Speak to me about how you might like to customise your workshop.
