SOURDOUGH BREAD MASTERCLASS

This class covers the fundamentals of sourdough bread making. If you’ve had some overworked, under-proofed attempts, if you’ve never made a loaf in your life, or if you know someone who is just keen to give it a go – help is here. 

Join me live on Zoom for an interactive 2-hour masterclass. Learn the basics you need to hand-make rustic, flavoursome sourdough bread every time. Designed for beginner to intermediate skill levels, this is your definitive how-to. 

How the masterclass works 

Join me live on Zoom in a small group class of up to 18 people, and together we’ll take your sourdough skills to a new level.
At the end of the class, you’ll get a recording of the session so you can revisit any part of the process, from starter to shaping. 

What we’ll cover:
+ The fundamentals of sourdough baking
+The biggest bread-making misconceptions 

+ The importance of using the right flours
+ Sourdough starter and how to care for it
+ How to make the dough by hand
+ How to shape the bread
+ A different proofing method
+ How to bake bread to suit your oven style 

Open and go 

Before the class, you’ll receive a box containing all the dry organic ingredients needed to make your first sourdough loaf. 

There’s even a VIP inside – the ‘mother’, some of my 10-year- old organic sourdough starter. This is the secret to a better bake. This will help you fast-track the development and the flavour of your bread without using any yeast. You can also add an optional Essential Starter Kit with all the dough-making tools you need. 

What’s in the box? 

Before your class, you’ll receive: 

• One packet of my carefully dehydrated organic sourdough
  starter, which you can reuse indefinitely 
• A printed, easy-to-follow recipe 
• A welcome video link with instructions on how to prepare your starter 
• 500g of organic flour; a mix of white unbleached and other complex flours 
• A packet of French Celtic Sea Salt 

Optional extras 

For an easy box-to-bake experience, add the Essential Starter Kit. This includes all the materials and tools to make a lovely loaf, making it even easier to get started. The kit includes: 

• 1 x 20cm round Banneton basket made from 100% organic rattan 
• 1 x cotton liner made from 100% organic cotton 
• 1 x wooden handle bread lame with 4+1 blades 
• 1 x white dough scraper 
• 1 x complete Weck 850ml glass jar with lid 

The masterclass includes 3-months of complimentary support with a live Q&A. As your bread rises, so can the questions. Join the session to ask anything about sourdough bread.
