Have you wanted to learn the ins and outs of baking sourdough bread? Come learn from Natalie while she walks you through the basics! On the first night of the course we will taste fresh sourdough bread, feed your new starter, mix dough, and let it ferment. Then the following night, we will bake our bread and explore all things sourdough! This class is perfect for folks new to baking sourdough, as we will begin with a very simple recipe, but anyone is welcome. Sourdough starter from local microbakery, The Village Bakehouse, is included in the class price. Please see this link for recommended supplies to purchase and bring to the first class; if you're not able to purchase supplies ahead of time, there will be extras available in class for sharing. This participatory class is intended for students 13 and older; younger students are welcome to attend with an adult caregiver who is also registered. Already have an understanding for baking your own Sourdough bread and ready for a new challenge? Join Natalie in May for Baking 101: Sourdough Bagels.

Unlock the secrets of artisan-style sourdough bagels in this hands-on, step-by-step course designed for home bakers of all skill levels. Whether you’re just learning to work with a sourdough starter or you already bake bread regularly, Natalie will teach you how to make your own delicious sourdough bagels at home. Sourdough bagels typically require rising overnight, so for this one evening class, you will use dough that has already risen and learn the techniques from there. Students will shape, boil, and bake their bagels, and then of course get to taste test! You will experiment with different toppings and mixtures, and leave with all the knowledge (and a recipe) to continue making bagels at home on your own. This class is open to students 13 and older; younger students are welcome to attend with an adult caregiver who is also registered. This is a participatory class. Students will work together in pairs to make and bake their bagels. A couple notes on Sourdough starter from your instructor if you do not already have your own: You can purchase it through the Village Bakehouse in Williston. We have partnered with them for this class and a link to purchase will be e-mailed to you before the class meets. I will then bring your starter for you to class. If you would like to try making your own starter, I can chat with you at the end of class and provide a starter recipe. Are you looking to learn the ins and outs of baking your own Sourdough bread?
