Description

Join us in a discussion of sourdough starter and whole grain flours and why they're important for our gut and overall nutrition! Learn how to feed a sourdough starter and get to take it home with you for future experimentation in the kitchen. We'll be focusing on what local grains we use at Fleur Bake Shop, and what is readily available and grown in Montana for your at-home use, as well as some other options for sourdough (yes, it's not just for bread!). About the Instructors The class will be taught by Whitney Brien, Owner and Pastry Chef of Fleur Bake Shop, and Taylor Thomas, Kitchen Manager and Bread Baker at Fleur. Whitney started Fleur in April 2017 with a passion for scratch baking, local ingredients and community. She has since grown her business with the help of her 18 employees with extended menu offerings, from macarons to laminated doughs. Taylor is a self taught sourdough baker, chef and a very curious observer who loves to play with time and temperature as main ingredients. The variety and health of the grains in Montana is especially part of why she loves making bread. About the Farmers' Stand A 100% farmer owned market selling fresh organic produce from farms and producers across the region, including Two Bear Farm and Wicked Good Produce. Everything else you’ll find in our store is thoughtfully sourced from small businesses using good practices and ingredients. We also offer many bulk and plastic free options in an effort to be conscious of our planet.
