Overview

Wild yeast is all around us, and foraging flour and water to create your own natural starter can be a rewarding journey. With proper care, your sourdough starter will yield delicious loaves for years to come.

Sourdough is a bread with immense characterโ€”it’s more than just a loaf. A sourdough loaf stands in stark contrast to what often passes as bread today. Itโ€™s the antithesis of the soft, structureless factory loaf that lacks flavor and personality.

In this sourdough bread-making course, youโ€™ll dive into the magical world of sourdough and explore its versatility. Learn to use natural yeasts and levains to create flavourful country loaves, pizzas, baguettes, and brioche.

Highlights

  • Gather your own wild yeast and create a sourdough starter
  • Improve your kneading and proving techniques
  • Create recipes for sourdough bread, rolls, pizza, and brioche
  • Enhance your bread-making with whole grains, seeds, and nuts
