In this technical demonstration, we’re diving deep into the art of sourdough. It’s not just about slapping some flour and water together and hoping for the best; it’s a dance, a beautiful fermentation waltz that takes patience, skill, and a little bit of love. Alex will guide you through the magical transformation of simple ingredients into crusty loaves that crackle when you cut into them, addictive crackers that are perfect for dipping, and tortillas that will make you question every store-bought version you’ve ever had.

Whether you’re a seasoned baker or someone who has never even turned on an oven, this class is designed for everyone. You’ll walk away with a newfound appreciation for the craft of baking and the knowledge to create your own masterpieces at home. So, grab a seat, and let’s get ready to unleash the power of sourdough together.
