About

Bring your questions about sourdough! You'll receive some sourdough starter, and together we'll explore how to maintain it and make it work for your unique schedule and needs. 

Take home your boule banneton (proofing basket), and we'll have handouts and offer expert advice so you can go home confident in starting your own sourdough journey. You'll learn to create (and sample!) a variety of sourdough products.
