Art of Sourdough – Workshop Details
Using just flour, water, and salt – combined with good technique and timing – you can make deeply flavourful, nourishing bread at home.
For years, I’ve baked sourdough for my family and refined my method to suit a modern lifestyle. This traditional process not only develops flavour but also improves digestibility and nutrient availability through slow fermentation.
In this demonstration-style class, you’ll learn:
- How to prepare and maintain a healthy sourdough starter – the key to successful baking
- How to make my Overnight Rustic Sourdough – a hand-shaped, free-form boule
- Tips for flour blends, plus add-ins like seeds, dried fruit, spices, and roasted veg
- Practical timelines to fit sourdough baking around your schedule – including workdays and weekends
- A discussion on choosing quality flours and sourcing NZ-grown grains for bread making
- You’ll also enjoy food samples and receive a recipe folder to take home
Date: Sunday 24th August 2025 (full)
Time: 10.00 to 12.15 pm
Location: Rangiora High School, Rangiora, North Canterbury
Bring: A pen for notes + a small jar or container to take home some sourdough starter
*This is a demonstration-style workshop with plenty of ingredient interaction and tastings. Note: This class does not cover gluten-free bread.
