(SOLD OUT) Beginner Sourdough Breadmaking

Learn about the process of making sourdough bread at Beginner Sourdough Breadmaking on Sunday, Aug. 10 from 2 to 5 p.m. in the Mansion Kitchen and Carriage House.

Instructor Hannah Fink will cover the basic biology of a ferment and what it means to a sourdough culture, how to mix sourdough, how to maintain a healthy starter in your home and the importance of baking with regionally grown grains. Students will also get hands-on experience as they learn to mix sourdough.

Prepared dough will be available to showcase baking and for students to prepare a snack toward the end of class. Students will take home their own jar of sourdough culture, a sample of gains from Janie’s Mill, as well as printouts of everything covered, simple recipes and a thorough list of resources.
