Let's build a solid Foundation.
Join a community of bakers stretching back generations and understand the WHY so we can adjust the how - skills that last lifetimes.
Twelve years ago I baked my first sourdough in a North Dakota kitchen, and I've been chasing (and catching) better bread ever since. Now I teach what I've learned - not the fussy version, the real version.
In Foundational Sourdough you'll learn to read your dough, feed your starter, and bake a loaf you'd be proud to give away. You'll leave with your hands floury, your questions answered, and everything you need to keep going at home.
A few things I tell every student:
- Pick ONE recipe and master it.
- When in doubt, bake it anyway.
- If it isn't moldy, it isn't dead.
Classes are small, hands-on, and held in the kitchen at Shades of Lavender Farm.
