Sourdough Workshop with Michael Kalanty

December 8, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

Sourdough, Wild Yeast, Natural Fermentation. Whatever you call it, the newest, hippest way to make your own breads at home turns out to be the oldest one known to Man!

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. Make San Francisco Sourdough and learn classic steps for this type of bread; make Apple Walnut Hearth Bread to learn a modern interpretation with a range of ingredients and a sourness so mild you won’t even want to call it a sourdough.

Breads

Pain au Levain, San Francisco Sourdough, Apple Walnut Hearth Bread, Rosemary & Raisin Sandwich Loaves, and Multi-Seed Bâtards.

What You’ll Learn To Do in This Class

  • Start & Maintain your own wild yeast culture
  • Develop (“knead”) sourdough breads for best texture
  • Modify the bread’s schedule to create the flavor and texture YOU want
  • Fully proof and properly bake sourdough breads to have open, airy texture with the type of crust you want–thin & crispy or thick & chewy.
