I’m opening up a few more dates for my hands on sourdough workshops at Sweet & Sourdough.
These are relaxed, practical days where you’ll learn how to make great sourdough from scratch and, importantly, understand what your dough is doing.
You’ll learn how to:
• Make and care for your sourdough starter
• Mix and develop your dough
• Shape and score your loaf
• Understand fermentation and timing
• Bake an artisan sourdough loaf
• Make homemade pizza for lunch
The workshops run from 10am to 4pm and are suitable for complete beginners or anyone who has started making sourdough but wants more confidence.
You’ll leave with your own dough to bake at home, plenty of practical knowledge and the confidence to keep making sourdough yourself.
£120 per person.
Places are limited, so if you’d like to join me for a day of sourdough, send me a message and I’ll get you booked in.
