Join us at the Bixby to discover the joys of sourdough with Eliza Hunter, an experienced practitioner, most recently of Berkshire Mountain Bakery. We will overview a brief history of sourdough and the symbol and historical significance of bread. Talk about the health benefits and the things that set naturally-fermented dough apart from breads that use commercial and dry yeast. Go over the starter and bread making process and techniques. Demonstrate mixing a dough. Address how to take care of starter and what to do if it’s neglected/how to revive it. Taste samples of two different types of sourdough for people to try and discuss the difference in flavor and texture etc. Bring a mason jar or Tupperware container to bring your own starter home with you.
