Introduction to Sourdough Bread Baking

In the “Introduction to Sourdough Bread Making” class you’ll get to make three different types of sourdough breads: a delicious Scandi-style rye tin loaf, Focaccia and a Country-style rustic loaf. We’ll bake the rye loaf and Focaccia on the day and you’ll take the finished country loaf bread dough away with you to bake at home. You’ll also learn how to keep a sourdough starter healthy and active, ready to bake more delicious bread at home.

A vegetarian lunch is provided and there’s also lots of bread and other baked treats to try too! You’ll also receive some fresh sourdough starter, a detailed instruction booklet with the recipes, a proving basket, scraper and bread scorer.

The class runs from 10:00am to approximately 3pm (end time depends on how active the dough is on the day) at our home just outside Newark-on-Trent.
