Description
Discover the magic of sourdough with our hands-on breadmaking class. Learn the ancient art of crafting delicious and healthy sourdough bread from scratch.

Join us for a fun and educational experience that will elevate your baking skills to new heights. Sign up now and unlock the wonders of sourdough breadmaking. In the “Introduction to Sourdough Bread Making” class you’ll get to make three different types of sourdough breads: a delicious Scandi-style rye tin loaf, Focaccia and a Country-style rustic loaf.
