Hands-On Learning
Sourdough Classes
Learn to bake beautiful sourdough from scratch. No experience needed — just curiosity and a love of good bread.
The Curriculum
What You'll Learn
Meet Your Starter
You'll learn what a sourdough starter is, how to feed it, and how to tell when it's ready to bake. You'll take one home with you.
Mix & Shape
Hands-on time with the dough — from mixing your ingredients to stretching, folding, and shaping a beautiful loaf.
The Science (Made Simple)
Why does dough rise? What does salt actually do? We'll cover the food science behind sourdough in a way that actually makes sense.
Bake, Taste & Take Home
You'll taste a fresh loaf together in class while we cover scoring and troubleshooting. Then you'll take home your own shaped dough — ready to bake in your own oven, on your own timing.

Frequently Asked
Do I need any baking experience?
Not at all! This class is designed for complete beginners. If you've never touched dough before, you're exactly who this is for.
What do I need to bring?
Just yourself and an appetite! We provide all ingredients, tools, and materials. You'll go home with a starter kit and your bread.
How long is the class?
Plan for about 3 hours. We'll break into fresh-baked bread together near the end, with plenty of time for questions along the way.
How many people per class?
Classes are kept small — usually 2–4 people — so everyone gets personal attention and plenty of hands-on time with the dough.
