Learn all you need to know about how to make sourdough in this baking class in the Hudson Valley! From the science of sourdough better, to learning how to make sourdough starter, or manage some baking mishaps, this crash course is for you.
Sourdough bread baking is as simple as it is complicated. You will make sense of sourdough through science and theory, live demonstration, experiential learning, and collective troubleshooting. You will leave the class with a "starter" and the knowledge and inspiration to care for it.
Chef Laura will share her tested foolproof recipe for baking the perfect sourdough boule. You will learn no-waste methods for developing and nurturing your sourdough starter so that it nurtures you for years to come.
As a bonus, when you enroll in this class, we include your access to our self-paced online Sourdough Bread Baking for Beginners Course to get you from starter to your first loaf of bread in less than 10 days. You will also be equipped to take Intermediate Sourdough Baking.
We will snack on freshly baked sourdough bread and butter, of course. Teaching Table will also provide a spread of charcuterie, cheese, spreads, dried fruit, and nuts for nibbles.
Ideal for beginners. Great for individuals, friends, or families.
