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! 

ADMIT ONE

Each ticket admits one person, but don’t let that stop you.  This is a great experience to share with friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, frenemies, and anybody you want to share the cooking and eating with!

TICKET TERMS, POLICIES, & USEFUL INFORMATION:

By purchasing this ticket, we agree that we understand that we are joining the Pickwick & Cherry Cooking Club, a private, fraternal organization, and that all food will be prepared by members of the club. We understand that cooking is an activity that involves some inherent danger, including but not limited to cuts, burns, slips and falls, and other risks, and we waive all liability and hold Pickwick & Cherry harmless in the unlikely event we are injured.

We understand and agree to the Cancellation Policy, which states that “Class reservations are like theatre tickets – the show must go on! Therefore, if you find that you cannot make it, we strongly encourage you to send someone else in your place. If need to cancel more than 30 days before your class, you may without penalty. If you need to cancel within 30 days, but more than 14 days, you may switch your reservation to any other of our classes with space available (and pay the difference if necessary). If you must cancel within 14 days, you may exchange your reservation only if we can fill your space in the class. We will certainly work with you to find someone to take your space if we can help, but we encourage you to find someone on your own. If we cancel a class due to unforeseen circumstances or lack of interest, we will refund you in full.”

We understand and agree to the Appropriate Attire Policy, which states, “Please wear appropriate clothes for a hands-on cooking experience. We discourage long flow-y sleeves, lots of fringe, anything with glitter, things that stain easily, and anything else impractical for standing and moving on floors that contain drains, grates, uneven surfaces, and potential slippery areas. FLAT SHOES FOR WOMEN ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.”
