Join us for a fun and informative day of bread baking at our Cookery School. We will build on basic sourdough making knowledge, diving deeper into advanced skills and ingredients to elevate your at-home sourdough experience. Expect information on starter maintenance, stoneground flours, a diversity of grains and using sourdough for products other than loaves.
Led by the team from Acre Bakery, this course will teach you the secrets of sourdough bagels and a high proportion wholemeal dough. Our teacher will guide you through the process of maintaining your sourdough and use any discard in delicious recipes.
During the course, you will have the opportunity to work with high-quality ingredients and learn how to create a range of breads. You will also learn how to shape your dough and bake it to perfection.
Our course includes all ingredients, refreshments, and a light lunch, so all you need to bring is your enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. By the end of the day, you will have gained the skills and knowledge to create delicious, crusty sourdough bread in your own kitchen.
Due to the time restraint on the course, we will send you home with one loaf that you will bake at home. You will ideally need a temperature probe and a heavy casserole dish.
For this course and to continue making sourdough you will need a cane banneton to prove your bread in before you bake it. If you already have a banneton, please bring that with you. If you would like to purchase a banneton for use on the course and to take home with you, please select that on booking below.
