Learn by Doing
A Sourdough Workshop Designed to Build Real Confidence

Only 8 Students
Every workshop is intentionally limited so students have time for questions, practice and personal guidance.
Take Duchess Home
Students leave with Duchess sourdough starter so the learning can continue in their own kitchens.
Working Bakery Experience
Learn with Marsha inside the cottage bakery where real sourdough production happens week after week.
Sourdough Foundation Workshop
A Practical Sourdough Class for Pimlico Beginners
Videos can show you steps. A hands-on workshop lets you feel the dough, see fermentation in real time and ask questions when something does not make sense.
Beginner Friendly • Small Group
Learn the Whole Process, Not Just the Recipe
Sourdough can become frustrating when every instruction seems to depend on a different temperature, starter, kitchen or timeline.
The Sourdough Foundation Workshop helps you understand the decisions behind the process so you are better prepared to adjust when your own dough behaves differently at home.
Starter feeding, care and activity
Ingredient mixing and dough development
Understanding bulk fermentation
Stretch and fold techniques
Shaping and surface tension
Scoring artisan sourdough
Baking methods
Troubleshooting common sourdough problems
Skills You Can Repeat at Home
What You'll Learn in Your Sourdough Bread Class

Starter Care
Learn how to feed Duchess, recognize healthy activity and
keep a sourdough starter ready for baking.
Mixing Dough
Understand how ingredients come together and what properly
developing dough should begin to feel like.
Bulk Fermentation
Learn why time and temperature matter and how fermentation
changes the dough.
Stretch & Folds
Practice strengthening the dough and understand why the
technique supports structure.
Shaping
Learn how to create tension and prepare your loaf for its
final fermentation and bake.
Scoring
Understand where and why sourdough is scored before it
enters the oven.
Baking
Connect fermentation and dough development to the final
oven result.
Troubleshooting
Learn how to think through common sourdough problems
instead of automatically starting over.
More Than Watching
This Is a Hands-On Sourdough Workshop
There is a big difference between watching someone handle dough and actually having the dough in your own hands.
During the workshop, students participate in the process so the visual information is connected to touch, timing and real experience.
That is especially valuable for beginners who have followed online recipes but still find themselves asking: Is my starter active enough? Is bulk fermentation done? Is this dough too wet? Am I shaping correctly?
Instead of memorizing one rigid schedule, you begin learning what to look for.
