Have you ever been captivated by the crackle of a perfect crust, the tangy scent of fresh sourdough, or the beautiful, holey crumb of an artisan loaf? Have you wanted to create this magic in your own kitchen but felt unsure where to start?

Welcome to Introduction to Sourdough, the perfect first step on your baking journey.

In this hands-on workshop hosted by The Souldough Bakery Co., we demystify the process from start to finish. Move beyond recipes and truly understand the "why" behind sourdough. Under the guidance of our experienced artisan baker, you’ll connect with the simple, living ingredients and learn the intuitive techniques that transform flour and water into something extraordinary.

In this 3-hour session, you will:

  • Understand the 'Heart' of Sourdough: Learn the basic science and care behind a vibrant, active starter—the key to your successful first loaf. 

  • Get Hands-On with the Dough: From mixing and folding to the satisfying feel of shaping, you’ll learn the tactile cues that signal each stage.

  • Master the Basics: We’ll cover essential techniques for bulk fermentation, pre-shaping, and final shaping.

  • Learn the Secrets of Baking & Scoring: Discover how to create a perfect crust and get creative with decorative scoring.

  • Ask All Your Questions in a supportive, small-group environment designed for beginners.
