About this event
This full-day workshop will provide an introduction to the basics of sourdough, giving you the knowledge and skills to make and bake with your own sourdough starter.

Baker Clare Fennell (Bruntlands Bread) will lead you through the process of creating a starter from scratch, keeping it healthy and using it to make a versatile dough with Scotland The Bread’s wholemeal wheat flour. You will learn techniques for all stages of mixing, kneading, shaping and baking to create various types of bread. The day will include a tour of the Scotland The Bread mill and the chance to experience working with freshly milled flour.
Refreshments and a light lunch will be provided (please let us know of any dietary requirements when booking).

You will take home your own sourdough starter and bread made in class, a bag of organic Balcaskie Landrace wheat flour and a Scotland The Bread dough scraper, all in one of our lovely Flour to the People tote bags!

Previous knowledge of breadmaking is beneficial but not essential. This event is not suitable for people affected by coeliac disease.
