Hands-On Sourdough Bread Class

This small-group, hands-on sourdough class walks you through the entire bread-making process—from caring for a healthy starter to baking a beautiful, flavorful loaf. The class is designed for beginners, but is also helpful for bakers of all skill levels who want to strengthen their fundamentals.

Rose is by your side

Rose is right by your side throughout the class, guiding you step by step and answering questions as they arise. With the class limited to just six students, there is ample opportunity for personal instruction, observation, and hands-on practice.
