Learn the signs—not only the scheduleRecognize starter activity, dough strength and fermentation cues.
Practice each foundational movementWork through mixing, folding, shaping and scoring with guidance.
Understand what went wrongConnect flat, dense or gummy bread with likely causes and corrections.

Duchess connects tradition with your next loaf
Duchess is Marsha's living sourdough culture. Her traditional Welsh lineage is said to reach back nearly 900 years, carrying a story of flour, water, time and careful stewardship.
Marsha has cared for and fed Duchess for years using premium imported organic flour and no commercial yeast. Students receive Duchess starter and learn how to keep the culture healthy at home.
A sourdough starter is more than an ingredient. It is a living culture that responds to care, temperature, food and time.Request Workshop Information
