Description

Join us for this special workshop, exploring sourdough baking in the wood fired oven with Sarah Owens In this two-day workshop, we will explore the possibilities of baking with a whole-grain, natural starter culture and northeast-sourced flours including rye, spelt, and wheat. Through the mixing, shaping, and baking of sourdough breads and pastries, we will discuss and practice how to approach baking with regional flours in any location - and that it can unlock unique, terroir-driven flavors and digestibility. We will focus on using sourdough starter as both an agent of fermentation and as an ingredient in non-bread baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and granola. Every participant will complete the process of baking wood-fired hearty whole grain sourdough breads and pastries with local flours from scratch; from hand-mixing, to folding, proofing, shaping and finally baking and tasting. We are excited to welcome Sarah to the bakehouse this summer! Together we mix, make, bake and taste delicious foods from the land and you will leave with a solid foundation for hearty, Nordic-style bread baking and hearth-style breads. The recipes are adapted to home-baking and contain plenty of ideas to continue the baking adventure in your own kitchen. More information about this class can be found on our website
