Teams of 2 will mix up a batch of dough then learn to create, maintain, shape, and bake with a sourdough starter made with regionally sourced and locally milled flour. In this combo hands-on, instructional and demo workshop, each attendee will take home a bread-proofing basket, dough scraper, tea towel, sourdough starter, expert knowledge & techniques, and dough made in class to bake off your own country sourdough loaf at home and many more future loaves.
