In this workshop, you can look forward to a fun, hands-on session going over everything you ever wanted to know about using and maintaining a wild-yeast, naturally fermented sourdough starter.
By learning the techniques used by artisan bakers, you’ll get peak performance from your starter and will learn how to prepare it for baking all your favorites like pizza and traditional rustic loaves. In this 2-hour workshop, we’ll look at all the angles to feeding and maintaining a sourdough starter, and use it to make a yummy sourdough flatbread in class.
You’ll go home with your own starter, as well as the knowledge and confidence to use it to bake your own sourdough bread at home.
History
Sour Flour was founded in 2009 by Danny Gabriner when, through home experimentation with sour dough baking, he decided to start a bakery with a twist. The first 1000 loaves would be free and would be given away to neighbors, collaborators and anyone who expressed an interest in Sour Flour.
A bread community began to be born and Danny began to enjoy the idea of reciprocity that the free bread engendered. People began to sift through the woodwork offering help and wishing to learn the art and science of baked bread.
While bread sales remain a focus of Sour Flour, neighborly bread gifting, and bread education are high values held by Sour Flour.
Bread Education
Bread Education is a service provided by Sour Flour to help people master sour dough baking, to train future Sour Flour employees and to create an educated community of bread consumers that appreciate Sour Flour bread. You can sign up for one of our workshops.

Bagel Monday provides bagels free of charge, and we encourage home bakers to participate in Bagel Monday by baking bagels and getting to know their neighbors by giving the fresh bagels away. “Start your week off right with Bagel Monday”.

You will be taught everything you need to know about spices (masalas), which is the basis of Indian cooking that will come handy when we begin to cook. Spices bring out the flavor in each dish; therefore, I always like my students to learn and become spice experts.
