Taming the Wild Yeasts – Make Your Own Sourdough Bread: Live Zoom Workshop

Are you captivated by the aroma of freshly baked bread at home? If you find joy in baking and want to explore the fascinating world of wild yeast, this online course is designed for you. Through a live Zoom session, you’ll discover how to create your own sourdough starter and transform basic ingredients into a delicious loaf of bread.
This workshop consists of one live Zoom session.

Discover the Benefits of Sourdough Bread

Sourdough bread is easier to digest than traditional bread due to natural fermentation, which breaks down gluten and phytic acid. This process enhances nutrient absorption and gives sourdough its distinct flavor. In this workshop, you’ll learn these benefits while mastering the techniques to build and maintain your own starter.

Crafting Your Sourdough Starter

One of the key skills you’ll gain is cultivating your own sourdough starter at home. Your tutor will demonstrate the process live and explain how to feed, nurture, and use it in your baking. You’ll also learn how to adjust rising times and get practical tips to ensure success when baking in your own kitchen.

Techniques to Master Your Bread

You will practice two fundamental approaches: the classic knead method and the popular no-knead method. Each has its own character, and by trying both, you’ll discover which suits your style best. With these skills, you’ll have the confidence to bake sourdough bread consistently.

Exploring Gluten-Free Options

While the main focus is traditional sourdough, you’ll also see how to create a gluten-free starter. This knowledge provides alternatives for those with dietary restrictions or preferences.

Creative Uses for Your Starter

Sourdough isn’t just for bread. You’ll learn how to use excess starter to make both savory and sweet recipes, ensuring nothing goes to waste and adding variety to your baking.

Comprehensive Takeaways

By the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with:
– A working sourdough starter you can keep using at home.
– Techniques for kneaded and no-knead bread.
– Tips for gluten-free starter variations.
– Recipes to use leftover starter creatively.

Vegan-Friendly Ingredients

All recipes demonstrated in this course are vegan-friendly, primarily using rye and wheat flour for authentic sourdough flavor.
