Introduction to Sourdough and Focaccia Workshop (Beginner)
From: $188.00
“Flour, Water & Salt + Culture, Warmth & Time = Sourdough . Sourdough is the oldest way of making bread, and uses naturally occurring wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria. It produces bread with a distinctive taste, but it is about far more than amazing flavour and nutrition. The process of baking sourdough is sensuous-it nurtures both mind and body, and requires a thoughtful and spiritual approach. Artistic and scientific, it is a combination of passion, patience, dedication, and craftsmanship.”
– Kimbell, Vanessa. (2020). The Sourdough School Sweet Baking—Nourishing The Gut & The Mind. Kyle Books.
