Sourdough is the way to go! Baking with a sourdough starter does not have to be intimidating, it can be fun and easy. In this four class series, you will learn to make and maintain a sourdough starter. We will use that starter to make easy sourdough recipes that elevate your baked goods with flavor and nutrition: Marionberry scones, cinnamon rolls, pretzels, and everyday loaf bread.
