Learn to make delicious, handmade and wholesome Sourdough Bread!
CLASS LOCATION: McLaren Vale Hall, South Australia.
What makes our classes special for you?
- Completely hands-on learning - it's not a demo, you'll be doing.
- Everything is provided - just bring an apron and a take-home bag.
- You (per person!) will take home lots of bread - 1 baked loaf AND 2 dough loaves to bake.
- Be guided by an award-winning baker - Matthew - with over 10 years teaching and even longer professional baking experience.
You'll mix, ferment and shape dough + bake some dough prepared in advance. Then you can also bake your class dough at home.
Yes, it's a lot of delicious bread and a lot of fun learning!
This class is designed so you can replicate the process in your kitchen at home!
Class is completely hands-on, with constant expert tuition from Matthew, for you to experience each stage of the process. You will: mix, ferment, fold, divide, shape, slash/score, bake & taste.
Also included for each student:
- a printed recipe + electronic PDF copy
- active sourdough starter for your use at home
- one class baked loaves to enjoy*
- plus your class shaped dough (2 loaves) to bake at home
- instruction about establishing your own sourdough starter
- tips and demonstration on how to achieve a professional baked result in your home oven
We make a natural sourdough bread - no added manufactured yeast, no artificial ingredients - simply wheat flours, water & salt + the sourdough starter (natural/wild yeast and bacteria).
*For this very popular and convenient half-day class format, baker Matthew mixes extra dough the day before, so students have dough ready to bake in the class. Students experience each stage of the process - mixing, fermenting, shaping, scoring, baking - but we remove the lengthy final dough rising time.
During the class we will bake bread in a domestic oven and our special larger European ROFCO oven (to fit everyone's bread!).
This class is vegan friendly!
