Level: Intermediate to advanced sourdough bakers. Solid bread baking experience is necessary for this class.
Join us in-person at the bakehouse for a day of intensive studies around the craft of sourdough bread baking.
This is a level 2-3 class, so if you are an experienced bread baker and have the desire to learn more, or if you already experimented with sourdough baking and want to go deeper, this class is for you. Bread baking experience is necessary to attend this course. In this workshop you will deeply explore the science of baking with sourdough: We will be making one or more bread recipes (and go through the various steps), while also discussing all aspects of making, feeding and maintaining a starter culture.
We will also discuss the tools of sourdough management, recipe development, baker's math and how develop certain properties in your final product using more advanced techniques. We will also look into baking with different grains, like rye and spelt and how raw material choices, influence the outcome of the bake. We finish the class with a sensoric bread tasting, where we pair different foods and flavors with our bread and learn the basics of food pairing. Discover - or re-discover - the beauty of sourdough in this one-day intensive workshop, held in the inspiring surroundings of the Vermont bakehouse, where we invite you to unwind and immerse in the craft of baking. This class is also suitable for professional bakers.
