Did you miss out on the initial sourdough craze of the first COVID-19 lockdown? Or maybe you're looking for some tried-and-true tips to perfect the results of your original 'lockdown loaves?' In this workshop, current hospitality teacher and former restaurant owner Andrew Mavor will teach you how to bake the perfect loaf of bread, right from scratch. He will outline the ‘science' of baking bread, from enriched loaves to multi-day sourdoughs, and he will even explain how to work with baker’s percentages. After covering the essential bread-baking tools and explaining their uses, Andrew will discuss four incredibly versatile basic recipes to get people started on their bread-baking journey.  Best of all?  Participants will each receive a dry 'starter,' so you can begin your bread-making journey with confidence!

While registration remains open for this workshop, please note that the official registration deadline has now passed and so we cannot guarantee that you will receive your dry starter prior to the workshop.

However, the workshop will be recorded, meaning you can go back and review Andrew's instructions on re-hydrating the starter if you receive your starter after the live workshop on the 30th.
