In this workshop you will learn:
- how to manage, maintain and care for your sourdough starter
- how to make a beautiful focaccia to impress your friends and family at pot luck dinners
- how to make seedy sourdough crackers, which are a must on every cheese board
- how to build a dough, do stretch & folds, signs of fermentation, resting times, rise and shaping a dough
- how to make a basic sourdough bread with wheat, spelt and rye flour
- how to make a sweet dough with your rye sourdough starter

This workshop uses ancient grains like spelt and also wheat and rye flour. Even though the flour does get fermented it is not recommended if you are gluten intolerant or celiac.
