I offer classes by appointment at my home or at your venue :

   Sourdough for Beginners for $20 includes Starter                  This class focuses on keeping and caring for Starters: THE Most IMPORTANT class of all if you truly want to get into baking traditional Sourdough Bread!! You will be purchasing fully established, ready to use starters and will learn how to take care of them: discard and feed them properly, on the correct schedule in order to maintain the starter's health, activity, and happiness. You will learn how to store it, maintain it, how to put it on hold, prepare it for vacation. AND, most importantly, how to prep it so it is ready to make the best bread!  I will also touch on what to expect when making bread, including some recipes.

  Sourdough Continues $10: 

SIMPLE DOUGH WORKING: This class is about 2 hours longe. It is done with a specific recipe that I will provide and is a great introduction to sourdough bread making.  You will learn the simpler technique of building structure in your dough for your first breads. I will also teach you how to know when your starter is ready to be used in a traditional bread dough and what to expect with those doughs and why. 

FULL DOUGH WORKING: This class is a 4-5 hour class and will cost $20. It will be done by request, invitation, or by public announcement. Here I will show you how to work with your dough- stretching and folding; coil folds; how to know your dough is ready for preshaping; how to preshape your dough; then how to shape it for baking. I will teach you different methods of this process including ways to make your bread more or less sour. I will provide the recipe, so we will all be working with the same dough. You will need to bring your dough in its mixing bowl, a large cutting board to do your dough work on, and a lined banneton, bread pan, or some other final proofing container to take your bread home in.  The next step to making those traditional, old fashioned, large holed sourdough breads.   

I offer a host of other classes in the Sourdough World! Besides our traditional Sourdough Bread! Below I am listing all of the other classes I would love to share and teach! Some are savory and some are sweet! 

 *NOTE: Previous sourdough experience is NOT needed for most of these Continuation Classes!! They are fun ways to use dough and dough discards of any type and can be adjusted for any skill level!!!!! Remember: I did a dessert and tea catering business for 20 years and some of these come from that experience 😁.
