Frank’s Bread Academy: Sourdough 101

Have you always wanted to learn how to make your own sourdough but weren’t sure where to begin? This is the perfect place to start.

Join local bread baker Frank Petrarca as he walks you through the fundamentals of sourdough baking in this beginner-friendly, class. Using simple ingredients and everyday kitchen tools, you’ll learn the complete sourdough process- from mixing your dough and understanding fermentation to shaping your loaf and preparing it for baking.

During class, we’ll also bake a fresh loaf of sourdough as a class and enjoy plenty of delicious samples paired with our favorite local selections from Niemann Harvest Market.

Each guest will leave with:
🥖 A fresh, active sourdough starter
📖 A printed recipe to recreate the bread at home
🍞 The knowledge and confidence to continue your sourdough journey long after class

Whether you’ve never baked bread before or you’ve been intimidated by sourdough, Frank will simplify the process and show you just how approachable, and rewarding, it can be.
