Learn How To Make Sourdough

In this workshop, you’ll learn and experience activating and maintaining the sourdough starter, kneading and scoring the bread, before creating your very own sourdough loaf to take home and bake. There will also be a demonstration of the baking process and a freshly baked loaf for participants to taste test.
