Sourdough has been one of our most requested classes over the years in the Atelier kitchen. Traditional sourdough bread is a multi-day process that requires long proofing times. We will walk you through a hybrid loaf of bread that uses natural sourdough starter as well as commercially produced yeast so that we are able to shape and bake a loaf in class. We will talk about sourdough starter and each student will get to take home their own portion of starter to bake with at home. We will also cover a couple other recipes that include sourdough starter which are great quick recipes that help use up the starter rather than throwing it out.
