Naturally Leavened Breads

Have you always wondered how to make naturally leavened bread at home? What is a sourdough starter anyway? In this class, we will demystify naturally leavened bread for you, teach you how to make and maintain 2 different types of sourdough starter (one being the starter we use here at the Bakehouse and one 100% whole grain starter), mix and treat the dough, and make flavorful bread at home.

You will make our classic Farm bread as well as 100% Whole Grain loaves.

Your class includes a great Zingerman's Bakehouse lunch, too. This is a day-long, advanced class for the dedicated baker. It's an action-packed class with a deep dive discussion into the science of naturally leavened breads.

You'll leave BAKE! with Zingerman's naturally leavened bread and sourdough starter recipes, the knowledge to recreate them at home, 4 loaves of bread, 2 sourdough starters to make more bread at home, and great coupons. Not to mention a full tummy from lunch and bread snacking in class.
