Curious about sourdough? It all begins with the starter—a bubbly, living mixture that brings homemade bread to life. In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to create, feed, and care for your own sourdough starter from scratch. We’ll demystify the process and explain the science behind wild yeast and fermentation, so you can confidently begin your sourdough journey at home.
You’ll leave with your very own starter, tips for keeping it healthy, and the knowledge you need to bake naturally leavened bread full of flavor, texture, and character.
What You’ll Learn:
How to make and maintain a sourdough starter
Understanding fermentation and natural leavening
Signs of a healthy (or struggling) starter
Feeding schedules, storage, and troubleshooting
What to do next: baking basics and discard recipes
Perfect for beginner bakers or anyone who wants to bring the magic of sourdough into their kitchen!

Course will offer hands-on experience in the Culinaire’s state-of-the-art professional teaching facility at the Gateway Center, 112 Baltimore Street, Cumberland.
