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.

Teaching Table aims to inspire others to cook foods that are better for their bodies, their families, and their communities. The table I grew up around inspired curiosity, challenge, and an appreciation for food. At Teaching Table, we believe in sourcing ingredients locally to sustain our earth and community. Our classes empower you to make health-supportive decisions while honoring that food should taste delicious. We believe in creating positive participant experiences. So, when you gather around the Teaching Table, you will learn techniques to turn seasonal, locally sourced ingredients into tasty and nourishing meals everyone will enjoy. You will ask questions and challenge yourself and walk away with recipes and tools for your culinary tool belt.Teaching Table classes are intentionally small, intimate learning experiences so that you get hands-on practice and personalized attention. Menus and instruction are tailored to participants’ dietary needs and preferences, cooking skills, and goals.
