Learn By Doing
This Is Not a Sourdough Demonstration Class
If you've watched videos, followed recipes and still wondered whether your starter, fermentation or dough actually looks right, this sourdough workshop was created for you.
You won't spend the day simply watching someone else make bread. You'll participate in the process and experience what properly developing sourdough looks and feels like.
Marsha walks you through each stage in a relaxed, personal setting where you can touch the dough, practice the techniques and ask questions as you work.
Most importantly, you'll learn the why behind sourdough so you can confidently make decisions in your own kitchen rather than depending on a recipe alone.
