Description

Join us for an engaging and beginner-friendly introduction to the world of sourdough! This informational class is perfect for anyone curious about starting their own sourdough journey but not sure where to begin.

In this session, you’ll learn the essential terminology and concepts behind sourdough baking—demystifying words like “starter,” “hydration,” and “discard.” We’ll walk through what sourdough is, how it works, and why it’s so unique compared to commercial yeast baking. You’ll also gain a clear understanding of how to care for a sourdough starter, including feeding schedules, storage tips, and how to recognize a healthy, active culture.

While this is not a hands-on workshop, it’s a valuable foundation that will give you the confidence to begin baking at home. Whether you’re brand new or have tried (and struggled) before, this class will equip you with the knowledge you need to succeed.

Have some supplies? Register for the class only.

Need everything? Register for Sourdough Essentials Bundle, featuring everything you need to get started at home: one Weck jar, one dehydrated sourdough starter (gluten-free or regular), and a proofing basket.

Come ready to learn, ask questions, and get inspired to start your sourdough journey!
