In this introduction to making delicious sourdough breads, you will learn how to achieve a wonderful crust, crumb, taste and texture, how to create and keep a healthy leaven and how to mix, knead, shape, and bake the perfect loaf. You will make and take away a golden loaf of sourdough bread and a slab of mouth-watering rosemary focaccia.

Whenever available we use locally produced biodynamic heritage wheat and rye flours;  alternatively we use organic produce from Shipton Mill. 

All organic/biodynamic produce,  refreshments and recipe sheets are included in the workshop fee.

Limited places, by prior paid booking only - please book early!
