Always wanted to make sourdough but felt a little… intimidough-ted? You’re in the right place. This beginner-friendly class is the perfect way to dip your toes (not literally) into the world of wild yeast and delicious, crusty bread—without the stress or confusion!  
  
In this 2.5-hour workshop, we’ll get our hands floured up and create our very own dough babies. We’ll be mixing, stretching, folding, and talking all things sourdough while the dough does its thing. There will be plenty of time for questions, demos, and “a-ha!” moments in between.
