Summer Sourdough Workshop

Learn the beginner-friendly basics of sourdough with Chef Ash Agnite! In this workshop you’ll learn how to maintain your sourdough starter, when and how to use it for baking, how to store it, & more. Along with this foundational knowledge, we’ll also go through measuring, mixing, preparing, baking, & tasting an olive oil rosemary focaccia that will easily become a home staple. The delicious & culinarily versatile sourdough focaccia bread is a simple and fun start to the journey of sourdough because it teaches you the techniques involved to make a variety of sourdough breads in the future.

This workshop includes: 

⁃ A jar of organic heirloom starter of your own to maintain.

⁃ Tea, refreshments, fresh fruit, snacks, and diet-inclusive jams and butter to go with a freshly baked focaccia tasting. (Please message us directly if you have any specific dietary questions before the workshop.)

⁃ A PDF and physical copy of Chef Ash’s detailed sourdough 101 & focaccia recipe guide to make notes on during the workshop. It includes the step by step breakdowns of the whole process with loads of extra tips and info to know that we couldn’t possibly go over in just 3 hours. 

⁃ Professional chef-led instruction, guidance, and community during the workshop & beyond.

✨Fun Sourdough Fact✨:

Both wild yeast and bacteria participate in the fermentation and leavening of sourdough bread. Because it’s fermented, it has a lower glycemic index than other breads & is less likely to spike your blood sugar while also being more easily digestible and makes nutrients from flour more bio-available.
