Sourdough cooking class

A full day baking with a live wild yeast starter, learning to read the dough by feel, not by the clock. Build a levain, mix, shape, score and bake a proper loaf with a crackling crust and an open crumb.

You'll leave with your own starter, the confidence to bake week after week, and a loaf to take home.

Book this class 5 hrs · £50 per person, minimum of 3
