Join James Beard award-winning author and baker Sarah Owens in celebrating her third title Heirloom in this hands-on, master class workshop.
You will experience the steps of sourdough bread baking from scratch using natural leavening and stone ground heirloom flours sourced from Hayden Flour Mills. We will discuss the benefits and challenges of using these flours and how they differ from commercial, commodity products. Each participant will create a sourdough starter to take home and learn how to easily maintain in perpetuity. You will learn how to shape a loaf, which you will then take home in a banneton to bake, as well as bake up Whole Grain Sourdough Galettes, both recipes from the Heirloom cookbook. You will also learn how to bake a sprouted Einkorn and Black Sesame tin loaf in class as well as sourdough chocolate chip cookies.
All participants will leave with a sourdough starter, banneton, and Hayden Flour Mills einkorn flour and a copy of Sarah’s newest cookbook Heirloom (optional add on at checkout)
Refreshments will be provided.
