In-Person Sourdough Masterclass

A hands on afternoon, from feeding the starter to pulling a golden loaf from the oven. We do the whole thing together, side by side, in my kitchen.

What we do together

This is a true hands on class, not a video you watch alone. We stand side by side for about three and a half hours and bake a real loaf from start to finish.

• Feed the starter and learn to tell when it is truly ready
• Mix the dough by hand
• Learn stretch and folds, and coil folds
• Shape, and build real surface tension
• Score for a beautiful ear
• Bake to a deep, golden, crackly crust

What you take home

• A piece of my 36 year old organic sourdough starter, the same heirloom starter I bake with every day, yours to keep for life
• The loaf you scored and baked yourself that day, still warm from the oven
• A second loaf, shaped by your own hands, ready to bake in your oven at home
• My complete written recipe, so you can bake it all again with confidence

Questions

Where is the class? At my kitchen. After you book, I email you to confirm your class date, with directions and a short list of what to bring.

How long is it? About three and a half hours, hands on.

I am a total beginner, is that okay? Yes. Most people who come have never baked a loaf they were proud of. You will leave with one.

Do I need tools or a starter? No. You bake with what I have, and you go home with a piece of my 36 year old starter.

Seats are limited so I can give everyone real attention.

In person, at my kitchen. About 3.5 hours together, hands on, from starter to baked loaf.

My promise: show up, bake with me, and bring your questions. You will walk out with your own loaf and the skill to do it again.
