Learn the craft of making authentic sourdough bread through the expertise of Arnie, an accomplished bread baker from Riverdale. Arnie will demystify the 36-hour fermentation and development process by guiding you through the essential steps in just two and one-half hours of class time, making the traditional craft accessible and manageable.
If you have never baked bread before, don't worry; Arnie will support you at every stage, making the process clear, understandable, and genuinely enjoyable. Working with just a few basic ingredients and time-honored techniques, you will experience the satisfaction of creating delicious bread entirely from scratch, building skills and confidence in the process.
You will leave the class equipped with comprehensive knowledge of sourdough bread preparation, detailed recipes, and a living sourdough starter culture to create fresh bread repeatedly at home. You will also take home the loaf you baked during class, still warm and ready to enjoy.
