Getting Started with Sourdough

Join us for an informative workshop to learn all the basics of baking sourdough - and go home with your very own starter!

Local baker Eric Stein of Eric’s Sourdough will walk you through the process of making sourdough from start(er) to finish, with a Q&A to follow. You will learn how to rest and rise, stretch and fold, and score and bake a fresh, crusty loaf of sourdough bread. Patrons will go home with a jar of active starter courtesy of Eric’s Sourdough and a guidebook on caring for your starter, with a simple sourdough bread recipe developed by Eric included.

Eric Stein is a licensed cottage baker, selling homemade sourdough bread and bagels out of his home in South Orange. He has over 20 years’ experience in the culinary industry, having worked as a cook, chef, and private chef before establishing Eric’s Sourdough in 2021.

This program is made possible with the support of The Friends of the Livingston Public Library.

Registration is required. Registration will open on December 15th at 10AM.
