A well-balanced sourdough is one of life's greatest gifts! Embrace the diversity of grains available to the baker using wheat, rye, and spelt flours to make full flavored and complex breads suitable for the bakery, restaurant, and home. Chef Hitz will teach you how to build a starter from scratch and customize a convenient maintenance schedule that works for you. This one-day workshop will include hazelnut sourdough, pumpkin sourdough, miche, einkorn loaf, and a 100% rye that is sure to please!
