Ciabatta, Piadina & Crackers with Lievito Madre - A Hands-On Italian Baking Workshop
Discover the magic of Italian baking with Lievito Madre, a traditional natural sourdough starter known for its rich flavor, nutritional benefits, and beautiful fermentation.
In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to create three classic Italian breads:
Ciabatta – Rustic, airy, and full of character
Piadina – A soft, versatile flatbread perfect for wraps or snacking
Homemade Crackers – Light, crisp, and incredibly moreish
You’ll gain practical skills in every step of the process—from feeding and maintaining your Lievito Madre, to mastering fermentation, shaping, and baking techniques.
By the end of the class, you’ll head home with your own fresh-baked goods, a deeper understanding of natural leavening, and the confidence to bake these delicious staples in your own kitchen.
Perfect for sourdough enthusiasts or anyone curious about traditional Italian baking!
This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo types:
YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child
YES: Couples (live in the same household)
YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.)
*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two buddies sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a single batch of whatever we’re making that day. (Don’t worry, we won’t stick you with some random stranger- if you want to fly solo, you’ll have the station (and all the yummy food) all to yourself!)
We provide all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging.
Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
