Soft and Slow: Naturally Leavened Brioche Workshop with Laila O’Boyle

August 12 @ 10:00 am - 3:30 pm

In this class, we’ll dive into the process of making a naturally leavened light brioche—rich, buttery, and leavened entirely with sourdough starter. You’ll learn how to mix and strengthen enriched dough by hand, how to manage fermentation to avoid excessive sourness, and how to maintain a sweet, active starter. Laila will demonstrate shaping and baking techniques, and each student will take home their own hand-mixed dough to finish and bake the next day. This class is perfect for sourdough bakers looking to expand into soft, enriched breads without compromising on natural leavening.  

Lunch is included.
