Bread Baking: Sourdough Starter and First Loaf

About this class

Learn to maintain a sourdough starter and use it to bake your first naturally leavened loaf, covering the feeding schedule, float test for readiness, autolyse method, stretch-and-fold technique, and how to score before baking in a Dutch oven. The instructor explains the signs of proper fermentation versus over- and under-proofing using real dough at each stage. You take home your own starter culture and a freshly baked loaf.
