Sourdough & Naturally Leavened Breads Baking Class

Sourdough & Naturally Leavened Breads Baking Class

We celebrate the art, science, and flavor of naturally leavened breads in our Sourdough & Naturally Leavened Breads Baking Class. Together, we’ll explore the fascinating world of wild yeast, long fermentation, and rustic baking traditions that bring unmatched character and taste to every loaf.

We’ll begin with the foundation: an artisan sourdough, learning the steps of mixing, folding, proofing, and baking that create the chewy crust, open crumb, and deep tang that make sourdough beloved around the world. From there, we’ll branch out into variations that highlight how versatile naturally leavened breads can be. We’ll bake an aromatic asiago and onion sourdough, a savory loaf filled with bold, cheesy flavor and caramelized sweetness.

We’ll also step outside sourdough-is-savory box and prepare South African mosbolletjies, a fragrant, lightly sweet bread flavored with anise and enriched with all of the dairy products we have. (Not really, but it feels like it!) This bread was our all-time top seller when we used to sell at the Farmer’s Market — even among people who couldn’t pronounce it (so, basically, everyone.) 

In addition, we’ll put every bit of our starter to good use by turning discarded sourdough into crispy, delicious crackers. These golden, savory bites reduce waste while adding another skill to our repertoire.

Along the way, we’ll cover essential techniques, from starter maintenance to shaping methods and decorative techniques, so that sourdough feels approachable and exciting. Whether rustic or refined, savory or slightly sweet, every bread we bake together will deepen our appreciation for this timeless craft.

By the end, we’ll leave with a collection of fresh loaves, crackers, and the confidence to keep baking sourdough at home for years to come. And yes, we will give you starter to take home!

Whole Grain Breadbaking Class

Whole grains, seeds, and nuts bring so much flavor, texture, and nutrition to bread — and in this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to make them shine! If you’ve ever wanted to bake hearty, wholesome loaves that are as beautiful as they are nourishing, this is the class for you.

We’ll dive into the techniques that make whole-grain and seeded breads successful, from balancing hydration to developing gluten in heavier doughs. You’ll learn about soakers, preferments, and add-ins that bring incredible flavor, chew, and keeping quality to every loaf. Along the way, we’ll talk about flour types, fermentation, and shaping methods that help you master even the heartiest doughs with confidence.

Together, we’ll bake some of our all-time customer favorites: Scandinavian Seed Bread, Maple Granola Bread, raisin-sweetened Power Bread, and tender 100% Whole-Wheat Cinnamon Buns. You’ll see how versatile whole-grain baking can be — from breakfast to dinner to dessert — and how simple tweaks can give your breads a perfect balance of texture and flavor.

Of course, there will be plenty to taste along the way! You’ll go home with a generous armload of fresh-baked, whole-grain bread, plus recipes, ideas, and inspiration to keep your home baking full of wholesome goodness all year long.

Come hungry, bring a friend, and get ready to make some truly satisfying bread at Pickwick & Cherry.
