Join Master Bakers Bryce Johnson and Ross Safford and learn the secrets of sourdough bread.
Description:
This is an eight-hour class, starting Friday evening and picking up again on Saturday. Students are encouraged to come on Friday to get a sneak preview and help us start the fermentation. On Saturday Bryce and Ross will take you through the steps of making bread without commercial yeast along with instructions for the caring and feeding of your own starter. Along the way they’ll show you how to make sourdough crackers, pancakes and more. When you have finished this class, you will have the confidence to not only bake using your own sourdough starter, you will be ready for more advanced sourdough baking techniques which will enable you to bake all sorts of sourdough artisan breads.
Of course, everyone will also leave with bread!
