Swifties Teens - Introduction to Sourdough Workshop

Taylor's Version: Introduction to Sourdough Workshop

Are you ready for it?

Have you ever been captivated by Taylor's latest sourdough hobby? The crackle of a perfect crust, the tangy scent of champagne problems (or maybe just good fermentation!), or the beautiful, holy 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 for Swifties Teens (age below 8 - 16), the perfect first step on your baking journey. It's time to trade your fear for flour and become the master of your own loaf story bread-making era.

In this hands-on workshop hosted by The Souldough Bakery Co., we'll put the Anti-Hero feeling of baking failure Out of the Woods. We demystify the process from start to finish, so you move beyond just following a recipe and truly understand the Mastermind behind successful 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 delicate care behind a vibrant, active starter—the key to your successful first loaf. We'll show you how to keep it alive for your whole baking legacy.
• 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. Forget your bad blood; we're building beautiful gluten structure!
• Master the Basics: We’ll cover essential techniques for bulk fermentation, pre-shaping, and final shaping—the foundational steps to create a show-stopping result.
• Learn the Secrets of Baking & Scoring: Discover how to create a perfect, non-frail crust and get creative with decorative scoring. Think of your knife as a pen, writing your own beautiful bread story.
• Ask All Your Questions: All in a supportive, small-group environment designed for beginners. This is your chance to get a clean slate on baking.
