This is the course you have been asking for.It is for anyone who wants to start their sourdough journey in a structured way, and for those already baking who want to step up their game.
Day 1 : Starting with the starter A good bake starts with the starter. I will show you what a healthy starter looks like, walk you through my feeding routine and the different starters I keep, and explain how to maintain yours. Bring your own starter if you have one, so we can compare and troubleshoot. We will finish by tasting the breads we will bake during the course.
Friday at 5:30pm
Day 2: Shape, shape, shape The only way to master shaping is to practise. A lot. Bring the dough you have prepared at home, I will provide fermented dough too, and we will compare techniques until you find the one that works for your hands.
Friday at 5:30pm
Day 3: Beyond the boule We will bake rolls, batards, seeded breads and square loaves. You will learn how to tweak the basic recipe and which extras to add and when, so you can create your own variations at home.
Friday at 5:30pm
Day 4: Show off Bring a loaf you have baked at home and we will celebrate everyone’s achievements, recap what we have learned and say goodbye, as bakers for life.
