Tasting Experience & Holiday Fun:
During the workshop, you’ll enjoy a tasting session featuring three of my favorite sourdough loaves, paired with a variety of gourmet spreads, cheeses, and dips.

For a festive twist, I’ll demonstrate how to create a pumpkin-shaped sourdough loaf, perfect for gifting during the holiday season. This whimsical design will not only impress your family and friends but also make a thoughtful, edible gift.

Take-Home Loaf:
You’ll prepare a loaf during class that you’ll take home to bake yourself.
