Jalapeño & Cheddar Sourdough Class
Discover the magic of sourdough in this welcoming, hands-on beginner workshop centered around one of the most beloved sourdough flavor combinations — jalapeño cheddar.
Designed for brand-new bakers or anyone looking to build a strong sourdough foundation, this workshop will guide you through every step of the sourdough process while teaching you how to confidently work with flavorful inclusions like cheeses, herbs, roasted garlic, chocolate, and more.
In this workshop, you’ll learn the foundations of sourdough baking while mixing and folding your dough in class. We’ll walk through the process of fermentation, cold proofing, baking, and inclusion timing, and you’ll watch a live shaping demonstration before taking your dough home to bake the next day.
This is absolutely a beginner-friendly class, but if it’s your very first time making sourdough, you may choose to make a plain loaf during class to help build confidence with the core sourdough process before experimenting with inclusions at home.
You’ll also feed a live sourdough starter during class and take home your own thriving jar of wild yeast so you can continue your baking journey with confidence.
This workshop is perfect for anyone who has always wanted to bake sourdough but didn’t know where to start. You’ll leave with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration to create bakery-quality loaves at home.
