Sourdough II with Michael Kalanty
October 12, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Whether you’re new to the sourdough process or you’ve baked with Michael before, this course covers each phase of the process from maintaining your own starter to professional bench and baking techniques. With this new collection of formulas for your repertoire, you’ll learn to build breads from a mixture of flours and learn how to incorporate more nutrition by using sprouted grains and fermented porridges.
You’ll learn how to get the fullest flavor in your sourdough breads through a series of builds, or intermediate doughs. Learn how time and temperature change the flavor profile of your sourdoughs so you can make any bread fit your personal taste preference.
