If you want to better understand the science of sourdough, start or save a starter, or manage some baking mishaps, this crash course is for you. Sourdough bread baking is as simple as it is complicated. Through science and theory, live demonstration, experiential learning, and collective troubleshooting, you will make sense of sourdough. You will leave the class with a "starter" and the knowledge and inspiration for how to care for it. You will learn Chef Laura’s 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.
Sourdough Basics Bootcamp is a super condensed live and in-person version of our Sourdough Bread Baking for Beginners. This is primarily a demonstration style and discussion-based class with minimal hands-on application and some tasting!
