Join Nicholas from the Hearthstone Bakery in Shutesbury for an informational (not hands-on) program on how to maintain a sourdough starter at home. This program will describe in detail what a sourdough culture is, some different types of sourdough starters, the tools and process required for maintaining a healthy sourdough culture in a home kitchen, the common errors people make, and how a starter is used in your favorite recipe.
This class is best suited for those with previous bread baking experience who are new to sourdough or seeking to perfect their sourdough skills. Nicholas will bring some starter samples that participants can see and smell, and take-home sourdough starters will be available with instructions ($0 – $30 suggested donation. No one turned away for lack of funds.) Please bring your own container.
