Intro to Sourdough Baking | November 8th | 10:00am-2:00pm

Instructor: Chris Boles

Class Type: Hands-On! | These are our most involved and participatory classes, where you get the opportunity to learn a hands-on skill. Anyone can do it, though--no prior experience required to attend!

WHAT YOU'LL GET IN THIS CLASS:

• chef-led demonstration
• F44 sourdough starter to take home and tend to
• make your own sourdough bread dough to take and bake at home using the lessons you've learned
• half loaf of cooked sourdough to snack on
• enjoy a light lunch of sourdough bread, meats, and cheeses
• take-home notes and recipe
• some lasting memories!

Join our lead baker Chris for our first ever sourdough baking class! In this 4-hour long masterclass, Chris will lead you through the basics of sourdough baking, from what it means for bread to be sourdough or naturally leavened, how to maintain a healthy starter, the importance of using quality flour, and how to shape, score, bake, and store sourdough breads. A light lunch of sourdough bread, meats, and cheeses will be served during the class as well for you to savor and study Chris' bread. Whether you've made sourdough bread before or are new to sourdough baking, this class is designed for everyone to learn something new. You'll leave this class with a sourdough starter, dough to take and bake at home, and some baked bread as well.
