Flour, Water, Salt, Time: Sourdough at Home

Bread-lovers will learn how to create and care for their own sourdough starters and leave ready to bake in their own home kitchens.

Class will feature breaking bread with butter, local jams and honey,  history of sourdough, making sourdough starters, discussion of tools and ingredients, and a kneading demonstration to get hands-on experience with how dough should feel while kneading take-home pizza dough.

This class is not safe for participants with sensitivities or allergies to wheat.

Instructor: Sarah Rodriguez Arvidsson operates Yeast End Holiday Hotel – Houston’s only sourdough hotel – where Sarah cares for sourdough starters while bakers are away from town. She bakes almost daily and has years of experience making breads in the home kitchen. She is super passionate about sourdoughs and excited to share her knowledge. She is also happy to make herself available to participants after class to provide support in making the most mind-blowing breads of their lives.
