Once you have a sourdough starter or culture, the possibilities are endless! In this virtual class, learn how to use your starter to produce a wide variety of baked goods, including pizza, New York Bagels, fruit and nut loaves, focaccia, and cinnamon rolls. Practice shaping, scoring and all the folds with baguettes, batards, and artistically scored boulés. Master timing and maintaining your starter. In addition, you’ll have a forum for addressing your sourdough questions and troubleshooting bread fails, handling higher hydration, and weather changes.
