Come to a great sourdough baking class on Sunday, December 18, 2022 from 12:00-5:30 pm at the Rise Up Bakery in Barre. - Rise Up Bakery, 48 Granite St. in Barre.

Fresh sourdough starter is wonderful to have at your disposal. Bread, pancakes, waffles, buns… there are so many delicious recipes calling for it. The key is to create and maintain your sourdough starter so that it is healthy, happy, and ready to go when you need it. This workshop given by Jim Haas, head baker of Rise Up Bakery, will be a great source of knowledge for both new and experienced home bakers. Unlike the virtual workshops, this will be a very hands-on experience.

You will be creating your own sourdough boule, and during this process, the instructor will be individually checking on each participant's dough progress and helping avoid potential mistakes.

This personal interaction is absolutely essential.

What you will learn and do during the workshop:
– overview of flour and how they differ
– how to make your own sourdough starter
– maintaining and feeding (daily basis, vacation period)
– troubleshooting
– sourdough baking (baker's math for sourdough)
– kneading, forming and baking sourdough loaves and tricks for: Storing, freezing, baking
