Sourdough Bread Baking


ID : 15555   

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Making a sourdough starter and dough is a little bit of science and a little bit of magic. When both are done well you can make delicious, fragrant loaves of bread. Whether you are a passionate beginner or an advanced baker, you will gain a wealth of information about making artisan bread using "levain." Through lecture, demonstration, practice, tasting, and Q&A you will learn about sourdough starters, wild yeasts, bacterial fermentation, and how to start and maintain natural starters. Chef Yana will discuss how to refresh the starter, the basic steps for long fermentation, and the use of steam. As a group you will shape two “big boules” which will bake in cast irons with steam. At the end of class you will have the opportunity to shape dough that has been prepared in advance, and bake small loaves for demonstration and tasting.
By the end of class you will have a better understanding of the theory and practice of making sourdough bread from start to finish and will take home your dinner rolls, a fresh loaf that Chef Yana baked from the same Levain before class, and your jar of starter.
Students must wear closed toed shoes and long pants, and may bring their favorite apron.
