Sourdough Basics with Brian

Saturday, September 27, 2025 | 10:00AM - 4:00PM

$249.00 Per Station (Suitable for Dynamic Duos- see below for more details)

Curious about sourdough? New to sourdough? Struggling with sourdough?

During this FULL DAY hands-on class, we’ll work our way through several recipes throughout the day (all of which you’ll bring home with you) including Sourdough Discard Herb Crackers, and Sourdough Fougasse!  

You’ll start the morning making a Same Day Sourdough Sandwich Loaf for when you want bread the same day. Next you’ll learn the importance of proper scoring and then practice on your own unbaked loaf that has been prepared for you. While that loaf bakes, you’ll start your own Sourdough Boule to bring home, going through all the stretching and folding throughout the day! 

Throughout the day Brian will share some tips that help him bake sourdough at home. He’ll share starter ratios and desired dough temperature. Two things that have helped him to bake sourdough on his schedule, not the other way around. 

While we’re waiting for all our recipes to rise, FAB will share some of its very own starter with you to take home and continue your sourdough journey. Brian will also share some tips and tricks for maintaining your starter at home, before sending you on your way with your arms full of sourdough bread. 

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.
