Making your own sourdough bread is a wonderful skill to have when creating dishes at home. From fancy loaves, English muffins, to weekly sandwich bread you can help add an abundance of flavor and confidence to your meals. There are few things to learn when getting started so we are bringing in local baker and farmers market seller, Sonja Lallemand. Sonja has many years of experience in the field of agriculture and selling added value goods like sourdough bread, cakes, shrubs, and other bottled goods.

In this class you will learn: 
  • Understanding the chemistry of breads
  •  Creating  your own baking timeline 
  •  Understanding baker’s percentage or ‘Bakers’ Math’
  •  Proofing, shaping and finally baking a great loaf of sourdough bread 

Each participant will leave with their own starter!
